Biography
Born in Germany I moved to the Northwest of Ireland in 1990.
My primary practice between 1990 and 2001 had been in sculpture using wood and stone. In 2005 I graduated with a BA Hons in Fine Art/painting at the Sligo IT.
Since 1991 I have exhibited in numerous curated and invited group shows with Solo Shows in 2007, 2009, 2011 ,2016 and 2019
Alongside my artistic studio practice I facilitate creative participatory workshops in various group settings since 2006.
