A native of the Basque Country, Françoise lives and works in Anglet, a city in which she has participated in numerous painting exhibitions, in art fairs as well as group exhibitions. Several solo exhibitions have been devoted to her work such as at the hotel Miramar in Biarritz and more recently at the Atalante Cinema in Bayonne. A member of the "Post- Pictura, Pictura est" group since 1993, she participates in many painting workshops. She has won numerous awards: 1st prize at Anglet, 1st prize at Boucau, Regional Council Prize at the Fontaine Laborde Regional Art Fair, 1st Prize (twice) and 2nd Brouillarta prize for Biarritz artists. Her figurative works are available in different themes: "secret trees," "paper women," and "timeless portraits" in which she revives women of the past using techniques of the 21st century. Childhood, this both fragile and magical moment, is often present in her works.
