Born in Cologne in 1962 to a German dolly grip and a governess, I developed a unique perspective on the world from an early age. After graduating from Commercial College in Cologne in 1981, I eventually made my way to West Cork, Ireland, in 2003. A decade later, I pursued my passion for art by enrolling in the Visual Arts degree program on Sherkin Island, accredited by the Dublin Institute of Technology, where I graduated with first-class honours in 2016.

My work delves into the evolutionary origins of fear politics, the dissolution of boundaries between humans and technology in the 21st century, and the rising phenomenon of transhumanism in the digital age. These themes drive my artistic exploration as I seek to unravel the complex interplay between humanity and the rapidly evolving technological landscape.

My methodology is the creation of an alter ego, a mythical character, a contemporary manifestation of transhumanism which embodies the symbiotic relationship between the human experience and technology. Through these alter egos I can explore this fatalistic relationship in which human beings are losing their spirituality and seek methods of re-spiritualization through art.

In my studio, I use ritual performance footage as a source of inspiration. I then work with digital and physical media collaging charcoal, acrylics and digital to create a final piece of visual work.
