my designs and working processes are rooted in living in and with a creative mind and i'd like to think of my jewellery objects as taking on the role of wearable art. to my mind, art is not primarily a cultural discipline open exclusively to some, but first and foremost a school of perception and expression, that is - in its freedom and individuality - an open invitation to everyone to perceive and express (more) freely.

my background in illustration and graphics provides the base for all my work. it always springs from the observation and/or (re)telling of a story, a scene, a feeling, a notion. my need for expression is pursued in the making of objects, drawing, writing and photography. in my work, i bring together these disciplines and allow for interplay between stories, objects, images and words.
