Exhibitions
Here you will find a selection of my exhibitions—solo exhibitions, group exhibitions, and projects in museums, galleries, and unique venues.
My assemblages and collages, made from found objects, plant remnants, and natural materials, require closeness, time, and a careful eye. It is especially in intimate exhibition spaces that these small pictorial spaces can unfold their subtle effect.

[UN]Apparent worlds
The museum at the Bad Arolsen Royal Palace provides an exceptionally festive setting for the tiniest fragments of our everyday lives. It’s a perfect fit! Who says that only the royal legacy is worth preserving, marveling at, and admiring? My (vegan) insect worlds and the tiny bird paradises captivate with their sheer vitality and diversity. […]

“The Dust of Time”
The exhibition THE DUST OF TIME uses a conversion of the Galerie Haus Bachrach for a group exhibition on current social deconstruction and reconstruction. Old architectural structures have come to light again in the gallery spaces as a result of the conversion. In the same way, many social structures are currently being called into question, […]
withBLUE
I decided to take a digital approach to the traditional craft of blueprinting. The result is a card game in which traditional motifs meet new structures. I took both the rigid structures of the old craft and the traditional rules of card games as an opportunity to break with old rules and develop a new […]

Romance 2.0 – Bad Pyrmont
Special exhibition at the Bad Pyrmont Castle Museum At first I was a little in doubt: How would my exhibits be shown to their best advantage in the colorful, classicist halls, against the backdrop of the very colorful textile wallpaper? The doubts were absolutely unfounded. On the contrary – I could hardly wish for a […]

Fashion Botanica meets Romanticism 2.0
It was a wonderfully well-rounded affair together with Pia Wessels. Pia has enhanced the fashion pieces and accessories with plant parts to create wearable art. In the exhibition space, the dress dolls conveyed what my works on the walls showed: the bizarre and the beautiful belong together! Carrying out the preparations and the entire event […]
Lippe miniatures
The artists’ colony of Schieder-Schwalenberg is also an impressive miniature village with a number of pretty little half-timbered houses. Miniatures have a long tradition. And so does the culture in Lippe. This exhibition brought together a number of miniature positions from the surrounding region.
Romance 2.0 – Bonn
Romanticism 2.0 is not just the title of my manifesto. For my exhibition in Bonn, it was also the bracket for the smallest paradises that no longer actually exist. This is precisely why they play a central role in my works. As already mentioned, I enjoy preparing my events independently in terms of content and […]

[UN]Apparent worlds
Special Exhibition at Namu Bielefeld The Natural History Museum is housed in a beautiful historic building, which is a real challenge for historical collections with its poorly insulated walls. However, the exhibition there is very authentic. The building breathes history. Thanks to the friendly team, I really enjoyed the hours I spent there with my […]
Cape Horn ART The Eleventh
The Kap-Hoorn ART exhibition space in Gröpelingen’s historic industrial port provided a purist and exciting backdrop for this exhibition series, which is unfortunately no longer taking place. Hats off to the KapHoornArt team, who had regularly made this exhibition possible for international artists until then. A nice reminder of my participation in the last event […]

NATURE?!
Positions in painting, installation, photography, drawing and collage Six artists explore the limits of nature. How much nature is allowed? How much influence are we allowed to exert? What is still natural? What is unnatural? Five artists with five points of view meet in Martin Koroscha ‘s producer gallery in Bremen. Featuring Akkela Dienstbier, Leonie […]

9. miniature in the visual arts
The miniature has a very long history in art. Incidentally, it got its name, or rather its beginning, with the printing press. The richly decorated first letters of the initially handwritten books were the first miniatures to bear this name. With this exhibition, my works were nominated for the art prize of the city of […]
Guest artist in the Jan De Weryha Collection
The works complement each other perfectly in contrast, in the gallery in a direct spatial combination: Jan De Weryha always works the wood in a very archaic way. Rhythm and structure are emphasized in sometimes impressive “monotony”. The simple elements of my own collages, on the other hand, illuminate every last bit that I can […]

Florence Dance Center
An exciting collaboration with young dancers. Their choreography reflected the relationship between man and nature, as did the works of the international participating artists. A successful meeting between performing and visual arts. Curated by Anna Mola.
HUMANS
International group exhibition at the made in..Art Gallery around the question: “What is human?” with participants from Italy, Egypt, Australia, Germany, Namibia, Romania and the USA. Curated by Enas Elkorashy My contribution to this exhibition was the Sweet Love icon on waste wood. I didn’t carry owls to Athens with it – in other words, […]

25th art fair at the Frauenmuseum Bonn
At the end of the 25th art fair at the Frauenmuseum Bonn in 2015, I was able to accept the audience award. With seventy-nine other very interesting applicants, 1st place is an award that makes me proud. The atmosphere at the weekend was simply fantastic. Not only were the discussions with such diverse contemporary artists […]
