the long story…

I took a master in sociology and modern contemporary literature (with a focus on the aesthetics of items of everyday life and modern romance), founded my studio words & illustration 2011 in Frankfurt am Main, where I worked from a spacious atelier in the Basis studio complex in the Bahnhofsviertel.

After having been to Brooklyn/New York for a month in 2010, I went back for an illustration residency in 2013, returned to exhibit at the NY Art Book Fair 2014 and came in winter 2015 for a long stay.

Love brought me to London in 2016 where I now live with my daughter and my boyfriend and work from a studio space in Camden.
