I was born in Germany  in 1971 and  moved to London, England in 1980 where I attended The German School of London and later on The Kingston College of Further Education where I attended  Art History and Fine Arts classes. I  graduated from the University of East Anglia 1993  and hold a  BA Honours degree in Art History with a major in Modern Art and 20th Century European Literature.  After extensive traveling and living abroad I finally settled in Vancouver, BC, Canada where I live with my three kids.

I have been inspired by all the various cultures and traditions that I have come to learn about through my travels and friends and have been influenced by the Expressionist, Der Blaue Reiter, Dadaist and Surrealist movement.
