Korte biografie

Na mijn afstuderen aan de Academie voor Beeldende Vorming in Tilburg (januari 1999, cum laude in de disciplines beeldhouwen, installaties en monumentaal werk) heb ik in het Ateliergebouw Nova Zembla in ’s-Hertogenbosch mijn vaste werkplek gevonden. Na verschillende jaren van initiëren en organiseren van tentoonstellingen in de openbare ruimte met verscheidene kunstenaars (onder andere met Stichting Dommel in Beeld en Stichting Foreign Artfairs) richt ik me nu vooral op mijn eigen werk in staal.
