I am a freelance artist who specialises in plant-themed miniatures made from polymer clay. I’m always interested in pushing the material to its limits. After studying art and educational science at the Technical University (TU) Dortmund, Germany, I went on to study fine arts at the Academy of Fine Arts Münster.
I mainly deal with tropical houseplants and reproduce them in different scales from polymer clay. I attach great importance to many details and specific characteristics of the respective plants. I also make accessories and furniture from various materials.
