I currently live and work in Cologne. From October 2017 on I am participant of the postgraduate program at KHM in Cologne.
I studied at the Düsseldorf Kunstakademie with Rita McBride (diplom with distinction 2016) and Media Art at the University of Art and Design Karlsruhe (2010-2013) with Armin Linke and Michael Clegg.
My work contains different media such as video, drawings, textiles, text and performance.
