That’s me!
I discovered my passion for languages and communication more than three decades ago. For me, language is more than a way of communicating – it offers an exciting insight into the mentality and culture of native speakers. In my art, I use language like a material: read aloud in a live performance, printed on floor-to-ceiling panels of fabric or knitted paper tubes. What role does language play in our thoughts and actions? I try to make people aware of its great influence.
I was always drawn to faraway places – to the USA, Spain and England. During this time I met my husband Nick, who was born in England. After almost 20 years abroad, we settled in Austria with our two sons in 2016.
Yoga and the teachings associated with it have been an important part of my life since my youth. It allows me to strengthen the connection between body, mind and soul. In recent years I have enriched my personal yoga practice through certified training.
Quote: “I want to share with you the joy of activating your mind and body. In my courses you get the space to grow and develop.”
