I was born in Switzerland in 1950. At five years old, I moved with my family to Sweden. Now I live in Eskilstuna a town near Stockholm. During the days I work as a pharmacist, and work on my art in my spare time.

I have always been interested in art and painting, but my interest in batik as an artform didn't begin until 1972 when I came in contact with an danish artist called Bitten Laub who gave me inspiration and showed me how to work with wax and dye.

Since I started, I have experimented with different ways to give the pieces the form I want. While I still mainly use a tjanting to create thin lines and dots, I also experiment with brushes, different fabrics and even combining my work with textile applications to achive works which have volume and depth out of the ordinary.

My work is mostly inspired by the nature in Sweden. Having spent the majority of my childhood in a small city near the sea, a large part of my work stays centred on the Swedish archipelago, and the small fishing villages and animal life out there. I also like to portray the barren nature and abandoned houses and villages from Lappland in the northern part of Sweden. I also find old alleys particularly interesting.
