I am an artist and illustrator living outside of Boston with my family.
I was born and raised in Germany and moved to Mexico City at the age of 21 where I studied Psychology at the Universidad Iberoamericana. Inspired by the vibrant Mexican artisan culture and as a way of processing living in a new culture, I also studied art and fell in love with watercolor.
In 2003 I earned an MA in Art Therapy and Mental Health Counseling at Lesley University in Cambridge, MA combing both my passion for the arts and mental health.
I have continuously studied various art and illustration techniques at the SMFA, Boston and attended multiple workshops throughout the country.
Art allows me to make sense of the world and I am always curious what the process has to teach me about living and being human. I am constantly inspired by the natural world, the magic of colors and the play of light and shadow. I enjoy finding beauty in the mundane, poetry in a simple flower, playfulness in an abstract collage.
