Mixed Media Art
*1973 in Stuttgart, Germany
1979, at the age of six, we moved to Portugal and my parents opened a Restaurant in Lagos, Algarve.
With seventeen I went back to Germany to finish Highschool, which I did, after an interruption in which I became a masseuse and naturopath (1998), learned how to read the Tarot and became a psychological Astrologist. After that I went back to night school and studied Art (2002-2007), got pregnant in the 4th semester and moved to Cologne, where I married and soon after divorced. Seven years after the birth of my first child I had a second one from another man. Although our lives confronted many changes, they grew up to be healthy and happy kids, resilient and integrated in their surroundings.
Massage ended up being the main source of income in my life and still is. It seems to be the main gift I have to offer the world, even if my artist ego is not very happy with that fact. Massage, touch, has been the center of my life and gave me an understanding of form, I believe. Also of our nature as an electro-magnetic being. For many years it gave me a sense of purpose, connection, social accepatance, status, enjoyment, comfort and financial security and independence.
Since November 2024 I am working in northern Germany, massaging and painting.
