From a young age I have been fascinated by art and especially stories and paintings have always been of importance to me until as a young adult I fell in love with film. Of all art forms it was literature and film that over time became most significant to me and creating images has now become a passion I can’t imagine not being part of my life.

​

Having had a basic education in ballet classes at the opera, I deepened my knowledge in the field of dance while studying pharmacy during which I equally gained first experiences in film, costume and theatre. The world of dance was my first contact with the field of art, showing me how the creation of beauty is the product of a lot of hard work, time and effort.

After graduating as a pharmacist, I studied French and Portuguese literature in Hamburg and Paris which I completed with my final thesis about how the ancient mythology served French philosopher Voltaire as a vehicle for his thoughts of the Enlightenment. Reflecting on art and culture was and still is inspirational, and especially literature and paintings serve as a source of inspiration for me, combined with the beauty I find in nature.

​My work stands at the end of a long process of designing and making the costumes myself, of preparing the scenery and the props that are equally handmade.

Expressing myself in images means the most beautiful way to me to capture thoughts and ideas and to tell stories. The process of visualizing worlds that before only existed in one’s mind is a completely fulfilling experience. And for me it is of equal joy to share these worlds by sharing my pictures.
