I was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1963. I graduated from University in 1987 with a degree in Social Education. In 1989 I moved to Istanbul, Turkey. Since 2000 I am painting and have taken private lessons from Columbian artist Ricardo Gamboa and Senan Ehedoğlu Eynullayev painter and sculptor from Azerbaijan.

From 2007 to 2017 I worked with Turkish painter and sculptor Sevgi Cagal and have taken part in several exhibitions.

My work is characterized by the use of different texture on canvas and can be found in private collections in Germany, Austria, England, Mexico and Turkey.

Since 2017 I also enjoy working with ceramics in my own studio. My ceramics have been sold to Italy, Germany and in Turkey.
