After 3 years of attending a Collage for fashion and design in Vienna I turned back to painting and graduated with praise -summa cum laude. This was followed by studies of Textiles in which I did continue to practice as a designer. At the same time (parallel to the abstract) countless figurative pictures were painted and tapestries, which I had woven, or knotted all by myself. Since 2013, I had completely dedicated my whole work to abstract painting. The theme my images are strongly influenced is the distance from family and friends. In the beginning there were a series of abstract images my, so called unwritten letters, which slowly dissolved into geometric shapes. Rather than one single working style, my practice covers an entire spectrum of topics and forms, from figurative to abstract and ornamental, holding a keen interest in experimenting with different materials to express ideas. I have been nominated two times for the well-known Austrian Strabag Art Award. In 2016 and 2018 I was also longlisted for the Aesthetica Art Prize, United Kingdom.
