She graduated from DNSAP from ENSBA in Paris (National School of Fine Arts) in 2002 and DNSEP (National School of Artistic Expression) in Quimper in 1999. The winner of the Espace Paul Ricard Prize in 2001, occasionally working with Olivier Mosset, Morgane Tschiember has participated in over 60 solo and group shows throughout the world (France, Austria, Belgium, Britain, Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Serbia, Japan, Switzerland and the United States).

Morgane Tschiember has directed her work from two- to three-dimensional pieces, in order to explore the transitions between dimensions, and how they relate to each other. Thus her sculptures are sometimes colorful, in order to make color a pure original material to be shaped, and therefore open a connection between painting and sculpture. She views sculpting also as a way to investigate the relationship between the objects and the places in such a way that the spectator gets a more complete esthetic experience. She considers her work as "classic" in the sense that it deals with fundamental elements such as form, color, material, which are treated by artists throughout art history. She also explores the new possibilities of painting and making sculptures, and is interested in the way the meaning "shifts" both in the spectator's eyes and because in her view, reality can not reside in one single interpretation). As a result, her aim is to create sculptures that not only stand in three dimensions, but include others such as time, action, movement, flux or fluids, opening up the place a piece takes and how it relates to where it stands.
