I’m a French jewellery designer/maker and artist based in Brighton (UK). Never without a sketchbook, I collect them like journals where jewellery design ideas mingle with expressive, surrealist or traditional drawings. Each design appears to me first as a vision that I translates in 3D using silver, gold, and gemstones. I use many different techniques and especially enjoy hand-engraving and wax carving processes. Inspired by mystical forests, dreams and tales, I see faces in everything and they appear a lot in my work. I like to work on different scales and I am regularly drawn back to my first love: painting. Mainly acrylic on wood sometimes embellished with gold leaf (jewel-objects) I also enjoy the process of miniatures painted with gouache, that directly feeds my jewellery designs. Both disciplined naturally feed one another.
Drawing was my first passion. I have been keeping sketchbooks and art journals since I can remember. I studied applied art from the age of 15. Then I went to an illustration school for a year in Nantes; In 2007, I entered L’école Tané , a jewellery and silversithing school in Brittany. I graduated 2 years later with a traditional training.
I have lived in Brighton since 2010, I discovered the colourful and creative town during a work placement in a jewellery studio shared by 5 independent designers. I started working as a jewellery maker doing freelance work for some designers. I slowly developed my own collections that I have been selling at craft events mostly in Sussex and London. I now share a workshop with my partner Marek Machlowski, who is a goldsmith and stone setter. In 2019 we launched Imaginarium Atelier, a home for our collaborative projects and our personal work. We fuse the worlds of traditional goldsmithing and art jewellery. By joining forces and sharing a very different set of skills, we create sculptural pieces that feel timeless and one-of-a-kind. Imaginarium Atelier is a home for our personal creations and our collaborative projects. Our first signature collection is called Masquerade.
I had the desire to combine my two passions since I graduated. Soon after, I developed a concept that I named Jewel-Objects. It combines three disciplines: jewellery, illustration and woodwork. The idea is to give life to a jewel when nobody is wearing it, the jewel can fit in a painted wooden object, it becomes the heart of a colourful world or the missing fragment of the story… (click to learn more.)
My latest collection is an exploration of patterns which can be overlooked in nature. I create imaginary mini-ecosystems, I work around a gemstone to enhance its unique beauty and create a harmonious composition in silver & gold. It’s a meticulous process as the different parts are assembled progressively. The layered sculptural compositions are at once organic and futuristic.
