In 1975, she met Egon Sendler, the famous iconographer who was teaching in Meudon near Paris. She was struck by the art of composition and polychromy of th eByzantine masters, and became his pupil

Early on in her career, Anne Vial was already conjuring her own poetic images, but at this time devoted her investigation toiconography, thus perfecting her knowledge of the artof composition and technique.
She was also creating tapestries, in series depicting nature and it's symbols.
