Born and raised in southern Germany, my fascination with art began at the age of four. My parents would often recount how, from the moment I was able to hold a pen, creative expression became second nature. Wherever we went, all I needed was a handful of colours and a blank sheet of paper to keep me absorbed for hours.

Entirely self-taught, I pursued studies first in design, then in management and marketing rather than taking the route of a fine art degree. My intention was clear: to complement my artistic skillset with business knowledge. At the time, my signature technique was already taking shape, and I firmly believed that developing the entrepreneurial foundations for a sustainable artistic career would ultimately prove more valuable than a formal education in the arts.

In late 2023, what began as a semester of studying abroad in Australia evolved into one and a half years of living overseas. Growing up trilingual with a longstanding affinity for the Anglo-American world, the decision to stay felt entirely natural. My recent Antipodean years broadened my artistic perspective, infusing my work with inspiration drawn from Australia's coastal lifestyle and untamed beauty. Today, my atelier is once more based in Europe - though I envision relocating to Australia, or the United States, in the years to come.
