Who am I ?
I have been an independent illustrator since 2016, specializing in artistic and poetic stationery. Inspired by nature and animals, I create illustrated greeting cards, decorative posters, notebooks, bookmarks, and many other little paper treasures. My artistic universe blends black ink drawings, botanical motifs, mandalas, and a touch of fantasy inspired by my travels.
Each creation is an invitation to travel, a tribute to animals, plants, and the beauty of the world. My illustrations are hand-drawn in black ink, with a strong focus on detail. I love working with line art, mandalas, and spontaneous symmetrical patterns to bring to life artworks that combine softness and poetry.
My illustrated stationery is also designed with an eco-friendly approach. I prioritize sustainable materials and responsible production because it is important for me to combine creativity and ecological commitment.
I was born and raised on the small island of Noirmoutier on the French Atlantic coast, where my deep connection with the ocean began before I set off to explore the world. My love for travel has taken me to Oceania, Asia, and Canada, where I have lived since 2015. It was in India, during a volunteering experience with the Animal Aid Unlimited foundation that I created my very first drawing. It was a true revelation, an unexpected creative gateway that suddenly opened up for me. This is one of the greatest gifts that travel has given me ♡
And ever since, I have never stopped drawing…
Today, I live on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, where my daily life— surrounded by forests, ocean, and mountains—deeply influences my work. Each illustration is infused with these landscapes, my love for wildlife (which I am lucky to observe daily here), the local flora, and the soothing energy of nature.
Also I am..
🌿Passionate about permaculture, I strive for self-sufficiency and dream of one day growing my own food.
🍯 Fascinated by medicinal plants, I love crafting my own herbal teas and natural lotions.
🌿 Deeply committed to animal welfare, I dream of opening a sanctuary where all species could live in harmony.
👩🏼🎓 Back to university in 2023 to study psychology, with the idea of one day combining art, nature, well-being, and animal-assisted therapy.
And of course, I couldn’t imagine life without my loyal companion, Ivy, a rescue dog from Turkey, and my angel cat, Orion, who remains forever in my heart.
Shall we work together ?

Each creation is designed to bring a touch of poetry and nature into your daily life. All my illustrations are made with (a lot of) love and deep respect for what inspires me.
Welcome to my world !
✼ Locally focused.
100% of Mandalove products are printed in Canada, and 90% are printed in British Columbia. It is very important to me that all products (postcards, prints, greeting cards, notebooks, calendars, bookmarks) be produced as locally as possible. Everything is printed at my home studio, or in a local print shop in Victoria, BC.
✼ Eco-friendly materials
In an effort to minimize my ecological footprint, I use paper products made of Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) -certified fibres. We thus help the FSC in fulfilling its missions of protecting forests and wildlife, Indigenous rights, as well as community and worker rights.
✼ Reducing plastic
I use strong paper or cardboard instead of plastic for all product packaging whenever possible. Greeting cards are combined with envelopes using removable paper clasps that leave no residue and can be recycled. Biodegradable cornstarch sleeves (that takes about 1 month to decompose in a commercial composter) are used for packaging of all prints.
✼ We have supported them
Over the years, Mandalove has proudly supported animal foundations through exhibitions, product sales, or through fundraising via social media. I have raised funds for Animal Aid Unlimited in India, Black Jaguar White Tiger in the US, AnimalAsia in Vietnam, Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Kenya, Port Macquarie Koala Hospital in Australia, Chaton Orphelin Montreal in Quebec and Morroco Animal Aid in Morroco.
