After finishing my studies at Fine Arts, I went to Spain, where I did a master (Literature, Poetry and History of art) at the Universidad de Granada, Granada. Once returned to the Netherlands I worked as an artist and developed art projects independently, before joining the team of Studio Kernland in Maastricht. In 2007 the ‘Stichting i’ was founded in 2007 and I became member of the board. The overall aim was to inspire a group and variety of people through the use of art and culture by making connections between contemporary fields of activities and to promote European culture internationally.
