Her sculptures in public and semi-public areas consist of hard-fired, glazed ceramic , stone and stainless steel or combinations of materials. Her women's sculptures are reminiscent of the fate of women all over the world. She creates pictures from clay plates, in which she scratches scenes with people, especially women, without prior drawing and then paints them with oxides, engobes and glazes in warm earth tones from beige to ocher to muted red tones, from which the blue of the clothes shines out . "Their gestures are archaically simple and are reminiscent of prehistoric rock drawings or some of Picasso's ceramic works."

In 1989 she and her husband Johannes took over the Gasteil estate near Prigglitz from the 1920s, which was in need of renovation . The couple restored it and expanded it into a “total work of art from architecture, art and landscape”. There they present their own works in a gallery and organize the exhibition series "Art in the Landscape" with international artists every two years.
