WHEN DID YOU START DRAWING?
For as long as I can remember, I was drawing, always drawing, to the exasperation of my parents. I drew on anything and everything: cereal boxes, books, official documents, letters from school complaining about me always drawing… As I hit my teens, my work became a little less about the destruction of all plain surfaces and more about channeling it all into a portfolio. It dawned on me that this may be an acceptable vocation when I won a drawing competition at the age of 12. Much later, I went on to study at L’École Supérieure d’Art Annecy, then the École d’Arts Appliqués à Lyon.
