From childhood on, Isabelle has travelled widely and lived on almost every continent. She studied ethnology and sociology in Paris at the Sorbonne University, with a special interest in the expression of art in different cultures.

She moved to Australia in 1994. With her background, she felt that it was important to identify the links with Aboriginal society, its culture and context. Over the years, going to remote communities all over Australia, she documented and then curated numerous art exhibitions in Europe, working with institutions and also privately with her associate in Paris.

Also very keen on geology, the Australian outback was a feast for her with its amazing textures, colour, rock formations, people and environment.

After painting on porcelain for many years, following the Porcelaine de Sêvres technique, a new outlet for her talent would later emerge from spinning wool gathered over time from sheep and alpaca from the outstations she visited in her travels and also from her small herd of angora goats. She then wished to use the process of felting in her very own way to create works of art. Her works have been purchased by art collectors in France, Australia and China.

     "When I tend to my goats, preparing for the artwork, I feel I participate in the ancient ways of life and herding, of animal husbandry. My mind is full of the forever sense of beauty shared by humankind and it is a deep sense of brotherhood. I think of the rock art I have seen and I am happy to preserve ancient skills and refinement."
