Born in Germany, I studied Art History and Drama at the LMU in Munich and Fine Arts at the academies of Trier and Bad Reichenhall.

Exhibitions at many municipal and art galleries, art fairs and museums in Europe, mainly in Germany and Portugal, but also in Italy, France, Monaco and Hungary.

My work is best described as abstract expressionism, influenced mainly by female artists of the American Abstract Expressionism like Elaine de Kooning and Joan Mitchell, but also by the abundance of colours in the Algarve – and colour is my main subject.

My more figurative work is inspired by the marine fauna, mainly fish and lobsters, often incorporating different mediums, acrylics and crayons, charcoal, fabric and lace.

As a member of AAN since 2012, my work has concerned itself in recent years with environmental issues, like pollution, overfishing, endangered species, etc…

With AAN we have worked out projects with these topics and turned them into very successful exhibitions, shown in many of the Algarve’s important municipal galleries and museums, like Portimão and Faro.

I live and work in Germany and Portugal.
