« My area concerns the aqueous and organic phase extracts from either conventionally or organically grown plants. We listen to the requirements of those who formulate mixtures for the cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industries and propose solutions that are delicately coloured and lightly perfumed, extracted by maceration or subtle distillation of flowers, leaves, roots or the bark of the appropriate plants. And my main leisure activity is centred on flowers and colour too, as I adore painting on delicate white porcelain, where patience and attention to detail are essential. In some 10 years during which I have pursued my passion, I have been able to learn both traditional and modern techniques at the hands of recognised "maîtres", but also to pass on my experience to adults and teenagers alike. Between my job and my children, I still find time to mix my paints and find new textures, pick up my sable brushes and savour the delicate fragrance of the lavender and orange blossom which I use. »
