Students
My students, my pride
Some profiles of artists I have worked with over the years. Whether for recurring courses or for episodic coaching, each of them have left their traces in my life. The teacher/student relationship must be based on a bond of trust and cultivated with pleasure.
To follow their careers and artistic developments, I invite you to follow them on various digital platforms. Here you will find links to their social networks. Please encourage them by subscribing and sharing their art.
