BIO

My professional background is rooted in arts education and academic research. Alongside my academic work, I have developed an independent artistic practice, primarily focused on printmaking and digital media. This work has evolved in close relation to research-based approaches to visual culture.

I hold a Magister Artium (M.A.) as well as a PhD in Arts Education, with a focus on Visual Cultural Studies, completed at the Department of Language and Cultural Studies, Institute of Art Education, Goethe University Frankfurt.

ARTISTIC PRACTICE

My artistic practice centers on printmaking processes, understood less as a craft-based pursuit than as a field of artistic research.
I work primarily with serial and process-based methods, exploring repetition, variation, and material transformation.

The traditional techniques I use (and often modify) are informed by, and developed in dialogue with, digital processes and contemporary digital image cultures.
