I was born in 1970 in Bad Segeberg, but spent my childhood and youth in Brazil, Spain, and the USA. Immediately after my birth, my parents moved with me to Barcelona; later we lived in Boston and finally in Wehrheim near Frankfurt. I discovered my passion for art as a teenager, when I first exhibited drawings and acrylic paintings.
After graduating from high school, I studied at the Falmouth School of Art & Design (UK) and completed the Foundation Course in Art & Design. I then went on to study geography in Marburg. I found an internship at G.T.Z. in Porto Alegre (Brazil) particularly interesting, as well as my thesis on how exchange rate dependency affects location decisions. After my studies—during my civil service in Darmstadt—I started painting more intensively again and organized my first sales exhibitions.
After that time, I lived and worked in Mainz, where I engaged intensively with the series “Fossil Landscapes” and “World People.” In 2000, I moved to Berlin, after a successful exhibition first enabled me to make a living from my art. There, the series “Redwind,” “Hunters,” and “HomoGen” were created, and shown in Berlin, Wiesbaden, and Antwerp, among other places. My first experiment with “Die Palette” failed at the time, but years later it became a central theme of my work.
From 2007 to 2014, I ran the Hellbusch Gallery in Mainz, where I exhibited my own works as well as shows by artists such as Elke Pollack, Maria Henn, Amador Vallina, Chris Kircher, and Frank Leske. Alongside the exhibitions, I also offered workshops in expressive and experimental painting. During my time in Mainz, my son Levin (2010) and David (2012) were born.
In 2014, I decided to close Galerie Hellbusch and focus on Wiesbaden and my family, where I set up my studio. During this period, important works were created, including the series “The Paint Box” and "Field of Mars" as well as experimental pieces like "Splash!", "Organic Grounds", and "Remnants of an Experiment".
In 2018, my daughter Olivia was born—quite unexpectedly.
In 2021, I opened ARTLET in downtown Wiesbaden—a retail space for my art. I regularly present all my artistic themes to the Wiesbaden public.
Closure of the ARTLET showroom while simultaneously joining the Artrewards gallery in Finland. Represented on Artsy since 2025.
My works have been exhibited in Antwerp, Berlin, Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, and Mainz. In addition to my own painting, I continue to offer workshops in my Wiesbaden studio.
