Everything started on 08.02.1984 in Werl, a small town in NRW, because I was born there.
Pretty early I realized that I believe reality is a pretty absurd and complicated space.
I started to spend more and more time in my fantasy.
Here I had all the freedom and to keep it, I headed my life in a creative direction.
After receiving my degree in design, I started to study in 2004 at the Free Academy of Fine Arts in Essen, Germany, with the topics of free painting and printmaking.
Due to special artistic achievements I was granted with a scholarship by the management of the academy in 2005.
Already during my studies I specialized in the old intaglio technique of etching.
For me, the etchings I make are something like photographs taken out of my imagination, only less modern.
In 2008 I successfully completed my studies by receiving the diploma of the academy and the master student degree of the FAdbK.
In the same year I moved to Berlin Neukölln, where I started my own business as a freelance artist.
I have always loved to share my creativity and fantasies with people. That's why I was able to realize a dream in 2013:
I opened my own studio with gallery, in Berlin Neukölln. In it I organized exhibitions and introduced the technique of etching to other artists and interested parties.
In 2017, I was moved back to my hometown, Werl.
In Berlin I missed the nature and the silence. Therefore, my printing workshop is in the backyard of my cozy house at Rottmannsring 30.
In 2021 I founded my own publishing company, the "Alles Käse - Verlag".
In this I published my first picture book. "When I grow up I'll be a butterfly!"
