Whether making art, curating, writing or directing art projects,
I'm dedicated to the creative process: developing a project from abstract idea to concrete reality is fun and rewarding.
In the studio, I enjoy experimenting with diverse materials and to create something meaningful out of the ordinary.
After many years of working on the organizational side of art, I have recently picked up my own art practice again and work daily in my studio in Ghent.
In the summer of 2022, I founded the residency and exhibition space Ti-Pi Art Space in Ghent, Belgium where I curate exhibitions.
I'm also heading the artists residency program at the Albers Foundation where I'm committed to upholding Anni's and Josef's Bauhaus-based values and sharing their devotion to art through the many facets this work entails.
