About Me

The interplay of people and their inner images has always been the center of my work.
My interest in images - both dreamed and painted - led me to study Fine Arts and Cultural Studies.

During this time, I worked at a language and integration school with people in transitional situations. My own art and exhibition activities have animated me since my youth. I worked as a mentor for adults and young people at art schools for more than ten years. In 2012, I completed a Master of Arts degree at the Zurich University of the Arts while working. In 2020, I began my studies in Analytical Psychology at the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich. Between 2021 and 2024, I worked at the Living Museum Wil in the St. Gallen Psychiatry. Since 2024, I have been offering psychoanalysis and art-oriented counseling at the Praxisgemeinschaft Höschgasse in Zurich. I gained further professional experience as an interviewer and consultant, as well as in managing and implementing art and culture projects. The interview series (since 2007) with artists experiencing a four-month sabbatical and reorientation in New York is particularly close to my heart.
