Why "L'île aux Libellules"?
L’île aux libellules, it's a childhood memory: summer days spent with my cousins building a little world (an island) to welcome the dragonflies that twirled above a stream. I remember the dazzling colors of the dragonflies, the murmur of the brook, the sunbeams crossing the foliage of the trees. The happiness of these days of marveling at the beauty of nature has remained anchored in me.
This is the feeling of joyful serenity that I want to awaken by creating fragments of nature to put in our homes, at the heart of our urban and overloaded lives.

About me
My interest in plants and the "why?" led me to pursue studies in plant biology. I spent fascinating years as a researcher trying to understand the mechanisms by which plants resist stress. Then, I joined a biotechnology company specializing in microalgae. Over the years, my work has evolved and I have lost sight of the wonder of discovery.
The awakening was brutal: breast cancer. A year of treatments and operations helped me to realize the absolute urgency of taking care of myself, of rekindling my inner fire which no longer shone: I took back the pencils and brushes that I had left on the side for years, I rediscovered the pleasure of doing things with my hands…and a friend introduced me to the eco-print technique. I loved this technique in which nature expresses itself and plays with the artist. It is an extraordinary way to rediscover the enchantment of nature and perhaps even to rediscover oneself.
