Spending the childhood behind the iron curtain, I grew up in the democratic
society of Western Germany. Preceding my studies, I traveled extensively and lived for two years in Budapest, a decade after the fall of the Berlin Wall and Communism in Eastern
Europe. Having spent a decade in the US, I expanded my perspective on Europe and the “West” in many ways. My work continuously approaches and questions aspects of Western Culture. Recurring topics in my work are the notion of home, belonging and language.
My main tool is photography, yet my art practice is multi-facetted. It reflects the life as a nomad, growing up in, and constantly moving between two different systems, being always on the search for the deeper truth behind the apparent.
My work is in numerous private collections and it has been shown and
published nationally and internationally throughout Europe and in the US. I received my MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute and an MS from the UAS Dortmund, Germany.
