Bio

Born in Berlin, Germany, I came after four years in the Netherlands to New York in 1991.

I discovered sculpture in the early nineties, while transitioning from a career in dance and intense musical studies. Fascinated ever since, I kept expanding my skills and artistic expressions in many mediums with the highlight of meeting my late husband, who introduced me to the art of glass. Another artistic passion was born.

Since 2000 I have been dividing my time between commissions in stone, glass and metal, and running a boutique custom art glass and sculpture design studio. Work has been created for many private residences and collections.
