Mastering many painting techniques (oil, acrylic, watercolors, ink, and charcoal) under various disciplines, naïve art remained her fondest style.

Later, the family moved several kilometers to the small town of Liperi, where nature and its colors, as well as animals, became an inexhaustible source of artistic inspiration.

During this time, she trained with other renowned artists such as Saara Tikka, Inari Krohn, Tarja Unkari, Kari Lindström and Risto Vilhunen.

Following the death of Jacques' father, Lucien Blank, in 1988, the family decided to seek a life conducive to the development of their children and their art.

Nonetheless, in order to make a living, the two artists were forced to keep their small apartment in Montmartre, where they went regularly to continue painting on the Place du Tertre.
