Educated at Hervé Hersant's Academy of Arts and the School of Fine Arts in Paris, she began her career working in the creative departments of several advertising agencies in Paris in 1968. She moved to Portugal in 1970, and became a portuguese citizen in 1975.
Labey makes paintings, illustrations, graphic novels and graphic arrangements for books and magazines. As a comic artist she has made adaptations of classic tales and stories with writer Jorge Magalhaes.
