Born in Sénégal, Françoise spent her childhood with her family in France and in Indonesia, before migrating to Australia. Her time is now divided between Europe and Australia; two varied, contrasted lands that are a continual source of inspiration.

She has always worked creatively using many mediums, drawing, painting, embroidery, cooking. The central starting point of her work is nature in the contemplation of her surrounding environment. 

She immerses herself in the visible. Her preferred mediums now are acrylics, some watercolour, collage, ink and coloured pencils.

The world of colour, the play of light and the relationship of colours motivate her to look with more attention. She believes that art nourishes the soul and allows us to perceive the world in another manner.

Her work is not a direct representation of the world, although subtle representations of plants and landscapes, can sometimes be recognised.
