born near Munich, lives and works as an artist and designer in Bad Kissingen, Frankfurt/Main and on the road. Her career began in the international hotel industry, followed by design studies at the KISD Köln International Design School in Cologne, the so called "Kölner Modell". As managing partner, she took over the family business in the hotel and healthcare sector in 1993 following a stroke of fate. It was only in the last 10 years that she made art and design her professional focus again while studying at Merja Herzog-Hellstén's sculpture class at Städel evening school in Frankfurt. Her works are based on considerations of sustainability, resource conservation and product avoidance. They are strongly conceptually oriented and focus on our world marked by extensive transformation processes. As a mixed media artist she works with installations, environments, sculptures, land art, paintings, videos, photography and text.
