I was born in Duisburg, raised in Krefeld, and my path through Germany has led me to live in Düsseldorf, Kiel, Cologne, and Bonn

At the midpoint of my life I followed a calling to the Norwegian island of Nesodden, near Oslo — a decision that has enriched my journey beyond measure. Since 2025 I am a Norwegian citizen.

Writing as a journalist and author has always been part of me, yet painting has long been the pulse of my passion. Over time, through courses and a self-taught devotion to “learning by doing,” I discovered and refined my artistic voice. Guided by curiosity, shaped through experiment, and nourished by the beauty of trial and error, my work continues to evolve as a dialogue between exploration and expression.
