The Barth-born actress, known from "Storm of Love" among others, received her training at the Max Reinhardt School in Berlin. She has also shown her talent as a dubbing artist, author and artist and has exhibited her paintings and sculptures in several galleries and museums.

As a sculptor, she prefers to work with wood, combining pieces of found wood with soft ceramics. Some of her exhibits have been honored with art awards such as "soft wing fantasy" at "Kunst auf dem Campus" in Rheinbach". The upcoming exhibition "Treibholz und Meeresrauschen" at the Vineta-Museum Barth is a tribute to her 85th birthday.

"Beach finds have fascinated me since childhood. The variety, shapes and colors such as polished sea glass, driftwood worked by waves and sand, which has been thrown onto the beach by the sea and bleached white-gray by the sun or seaweed, which takes on the shape of coral.

I go to the beach with anticipation and am always surprised by the treasures that await me. The beach finds inspire me. I simply start working with them. This results in sculptures, collages and many other works of art. Also in combination with self-made elements or fossils that I find and incorporate. I try to express the happiness I feel when experiencing the most beautiful moments in nature in my work and want to share it with other people. Especially now, in this fast, noisy, peaceful world."
