About me

Grown up in Vals, a small mountain village in the Swiss Alps, I left for Israel at nineteen. There I lived for more than thirty years, raised four children and built a richly layered creative life – fine art, photography, design, styling, and the shaping of spaces and atmospheres.

Over the years, my work found its way into corporate, institutional and private collections across Israel and abroad, including Bank Leumi and Israel Discount Bank, as well as into the homes of collectors in Tel Aviv, Paris, London and New York.

A few years ago, I returned to Switzerland – to reconnect with my roots and open a new chapter, both personally and artistically.

An artist? Yes. But alchemist might be closer to the truth. Materials, fragments, memories, overlooked forms – they draw me in. I gather them, transform them, reassemble them into new meanings and visual narratives.

My work moves between mixed media, photography, collage and experimental processes, reflecting a world that is layered, interconnected and in constant flux.

Alongside my artistic practice, I have worked as a photographer, stylist, designer and spatial creator – shaping interiors, shops and visual environments, realising photo productions, always guided by intuition, curiosity and a deep sense of aesthetics.

As a single mother of four, family always came first. My guiding principle was simple: a career can wait, a childhood cannot.

Today I work with a new sense of freedom and clarity. Humanity, memory, transformation, connectedness – and the quiet alchemy hidden within the everyday.

I begin this chapter with the same curiosity that has accompanied me throughout my life: to observe, to transform, to create and to begin again.
