She has lived and worked in 45 countries across 4 continents.

She improvises with dance and words in front of European audiences since 2005 -- including Festival Territori Bellinzona CH; Courrèges, Paris, FR; and PerformancesKalendar, Rosskha Museum, Gothenburg, SW. 

Her paintings and installations have been featured in the offs of the Venice Biennale, the FIAC, Art Chicago and Art Basel Miami.  One of her paintings hangs on a yacht between a Diebenkorn and a Motherwell.

She tags private homes, stores, galleries and chic Paris hotels, mostly by permission. 

She checks the boxes female, queer, and older than most. She eats as much butter as she can.
