Alternately painter’s artist then professional photographer, Cathy first devoted to watercolor nature series : a naturalistic and poetic showing from wild flora and little insect people.
From early years of macrophotography, she kept the desire to explore its nearby environment, in Champagne.
She is convinced of requirement to feed our ability to wonder with all is happening to our door.
Quickly, the naturalist artist moved toward native abstraction which uses gesture and light to reveal fancy.
His photographs are the harvest of a clever mix of great technical precision and chance on the spot.
The effects are achieved in a single shot rather than in a post-processing or in a overprint.
She also is the author of artist’book. His works appear on the front page of of major photo festival

Exposition

2025 2 | Chapiteau

The intentional camera movement and the blurred or bokeh fascinates me with their ability to reveal parallel universes. By dint of practice what looks like a photographic calligraphy, I managed to enough break away from technic and material to create my instinct pictures. This is where it all began…
This feeling of being observed while I was alone photographing in nature. Then, I put down the camera to better hear these nature little voices. Slowly, the magic has worked and I discovered in the folds of the known world, creatures from another age, legends that were once called fairies, chimeras now forgotten.
By dint of rubbing shoulders to them, they agreed to be photograph. I offer you today, their pictures, their stories.
