My main work is about the human body. I ask myself: what about the corporal punishment. This is the reason I made movies about toughening and performances of myself.
I was near 50 aged when I started with the studies of fine arts at Hbk Saar. The reason for the late beginning is that after a first profession as a geriatric nurse I have had a mighty acccident. Since this accident I am not able to work in thsi first profession.
And so i start with the studies of fine arts very late...
In the beginning I was working with oil and acrylic colours on canvas. This changed after my pre-diploma I was digitalising my works, so I discovered the Pc and in parallel with it I signed up for courses of PS, Digital Video and Sound. After the Diploma at Hbk Saar I made a postgraduate studies at the Martin-Luther -University of Halle /Saale and finished them with the Master of Arts.

In the meantime. in 1999. there was in our region the hurricane "Lothar" . This event was very impressing and gave the occasion to a project named at that time "Baumwelten-Weltenbaeume" . From that time on the exhibition runs four times and will be shown in the year 2008 in the Umweltbundesamt Dessau / Berlin. For this event I am the curator and artist , too.

My intention is to go straight ahead with power and learn all the time more.
That the reason why I sign up for new studies in Max Msp jitter, for programming a little bit interactivity in my videos.
Around this all I am participating at a lot of video and new media competitions
in Germany and abroad.
