I am a Mauritius born British artist and creative entrepreneur.
​She is part of the exclusive academicians and members of the Royal West of England Academy of Art, U.K.
I have been an art and creative director in advertising agencies, a lecturer at university teaching Media & Communication and Teacher Training, then moved to international development as a Specialist for the United Nations. However my first love remained creating and paiting which I have been doing for the last 35 years. After COVID 19, work took a different turn and since then, I have been distancing more from assignments and taking more time to write and paint preparing for retirement.
I would say that I specialise in watercolour and digital media besides working with other traditional mediums.
My scope of applications have been in illustrations for various projects, pre-publishing, publishing, web design, interface design, book covers, and other digital platforms. I have written and published 4 novels, 24 folk stories for children and had great fun illustrating them in various styles.
My main aim is to feel free, go slow living, be more in tune with nature and just be who I am as a person. No frills. No mundanity. Share my knowledge and skills and support anyone in entrepreneurship without being enslaved to fake and social media. Use my time smartly, be more creative and enjoy life!
