Artist

I’ve been an artist for over 25 years, having graduated in Fine Arts from Academie Minerva in 2000. I founded my own studio in 2007, focusing mainly on visual, graphic and furniture design. In 2009, I began creating mosaics from recycled children’s book covers, after using them as a base material in a range of furniture designs.

Today, I use a variety of materials, from repurposed vintage print to board that I paint myself with acrylics. My physical mosaics are handmade, one-of-a-kind artworks, encompassing both commissioned and independent work, and are available through galleries and art fairs.
