My work spans across painting, sculpture, installation, and performance. I engaging in a continuous exploration of sentiment, emotions and thoughts. I currently focus on textile works which could be described as paintings in the expanded field. I paint, dye and stain fabrics of various opacities. Which I then sew into three dimensional collages. My process is expressive almost performative, led by impulse and a result of continuously experimenting.
My personal history and being a committed feminist inform my work: echoing Carol Hanish "The personal is political". With my body of work, I aim to form an immersive spatial full body experience.
Originally from Cologne, I pursued Management studies in Oxford and Paris. During a decade-long career as a Management Consultant in London, I began my artist studio practice in 2017 in parallel. Fully committing to art in 2019, I relocated to Berlin and, since 2022 am based in Malmö.
I have exhibited and contributed to artist-run initiatives in London, Berlin, Vienna, Stockholm and Malmö.
