Born in Switzerland, I studied Archaeology and Curating before launching a contemporary art publication. Now based in a remote Northumbrian village, I draw on a lifelong fascination with biology, ethnology and archaeology. Inspired by explorers like Charles Darwin, I collect spellbinding objects from woods, hills, beaches, and valleys to create intimate assemblages. My work explores our cultural origins and rekindles connection with the natural world. Blending observation and imagination, collage and painting, my practice hopes to evoke wonder through textured storytelling.

My work has been exhibited in solo and group shows in Switzerland and the UK.
