Bio

I am a visual artist, who lives in Munich, Germany. My art incorporates themes of identity, place, memory and dislocation, where my international background (lived in UK, Canada and Korea) is sometimes a point of departure. I use varied artistic expressions that include photography, video and sound. 

My focus is on fine art photography, on still lives and images of our world in the form of still lives. I portray the strange moments of daily life. I am interested in all phenomena of light and how light transforms the seemingly obvious into a new reality – thus creating the magic of the image. I have been a traveller. I explore the world, people and cultures. I focus currently on the microcosm of daily life – made visible and connected to inner places, emotions or memories.

Since 2001, I work on photography, after studies at renowned international universities in Germany, UK and Canada (MPhil). I attended master courses with ICP, Magnum and other schools. Teachers include Josef Schulz, Sonja Braas and Oded Wagenstein. With Jean-Christian Bourcat, Jane Evelyn Atwood and Nicolas Havette I completed an Oeildeep Masterclass in Paris. I joined the summer academy in Salzburg with Eli Cortinas in 2020 and gained a 2021 residency with the New York School of Visual Arts. I am a member of the German female artist association Gedok, of WorkShowGrow in UK and Teleportal Gallery in US.

I exhibit internationally, at festivals, galleries, art fairs and (German) art associations. I contributed to and won prizes in international art and photography competitions. become 3. Prize winner of the Alzey-Worms Art prize in 2016, bronze winner at Px3 (2015), finalist eg. at Premio Arte Laguna (2015), Premio Celeste (2015), Premio Lynx, The Julia Cameron Gala Award (2020), The Swiss Photo Club Awards (2019), the ARTIG Art prize Kempten (2016) and the South West German Art Prize (2018).
