Her work mainly includes performances, videos and installations. In over 30 countries she presented more than 120 different performances. She had her first museum retrospective in 2011/2012 with her exhibition Personal Map, to be continued ... , which was shown as part of the Kraftwerk Depot project at MARTa Herford . Personal Map as a traveling exhibition, was shown in 2013 at the Cultuurcentrum De Bond, Bruges .

The artist's work is based on the conceptual design of ideas that come from everyday life and are expressed in installations and performances. The cultural atmosphere in which art takes place and from which it feeds is addressed as well as abstracts: corporeality, time, movement and space. In an expansive, dynamic and culturally and atmospherically charged “art event” in the sense of a “total work of art”, the artist always tries to establish an interaction with the audience. The aim of the interaction is to create a field of thought for new associations and thoughts, which stimulates the perpetuation of communication about certain cultural phenomena addressed in the artwork .

The artist is represented internationally by six gallery owners spread across four continents around the world.
