In her youth she discovers the vibrant life of the city of Vienna. Later she moves to Zurich. After many years of urbanity, she wants to give her closeness to nature and her love for handmade things more space again and thereupon attends pottery courses. In the creation of ceramic objects she finds her personal language of form and she decides to make her new passion her profession.
