About Me

I am a cyanotype and mixed media artist who loves exploring artistic processes.

I am originally from Switzerland and moved to Swansea in 1987. I enjoy experimenting with printmaking techniques and have a particular passion for cyanotype, which is an alternative photographic and printing process. I am fascinated with its element where Art and Science merge into one. I love the unpredictable nature of this process. I feel there is a sense of magic and surprise in every step, which cultivates my curiosity.

My work is deeply influenced by the stunning natural environment surrounding me, particularly the Gower and its breath-taking beaches. I find immense joy and satisfaction in collecting organic and natural materials during my walks and integrating them into my art. This practice is not only a creative process but also a vital part of my daily wellbeing routine. My prints reflect a personal journey and ‘la joie de vivre’. I am also an avid photographer and enjoy working with negatives and transparencies. I find cyanotype offers endless artistic possibilities and allows me to stretch my creativity and imagination. I particularly enjoy working outdoors, where the sun and water play an active role in the creation of my work. These elements bring me closer to the natural world and infuse my art with a sense of harmony and wonder.
