Biography

I am grateful for the network of people who have made it possible for me to be both pupil and teacher at the same time. To me, they are islands where I gladly let myself be seduced by the world of their thoughts, by their humour and their empathy.

I thank my family and above all my husband Kurt. He is my rock in the storm when my temperament threatens to bubble over. He makes sure that the quality of the life we share is preserved. He helps me to work off my surplus energy as we go road cycling, swimming, hiking and dancing together. He documents my artistic activities in pictures and sound and is my most reliable and most competent critic.
