I was born in Germany in 1957 and grew up in a family of artists and theatre people.

My work consists of sculpting, building and forming faces and figures, mainly in clay.

The basis of my work is my background as a creator of masks and sculptures for the

theatre. I often find inspiration for my sculptures and masks in my vivid interest in the

art and history of all sorts of different cultures. I reach down into the depth of my

fantasy world and so my work is also the experience of another universe. I am also

powered, too, by the events and experience of my life.
