I have been work­ing as a free­lance art his­to­ri­an and lec­tur­er for over 20 years. My clients include the Nation­al Muse­ums in Berlin, the Free Uni­ver­si­ty of Berlin (Cen­ter for Con­tin­u­ing Edu­ca­tion), and the Bran­den­burg Gate Foun­da­tion Berlin.

I com­plet­ed my stud­ies in art his­to­ry, clas­si­cal archae­ol­o­gy and mod­ern Ger­man lit­er­a­ture in Mar­burg an der Lahn, Lon­don and Berlin with a the­sis on Rem­brandt. My activ­i­ties in Ger­many and abroad have tak­en me to the British Muse­um, the Muse­um of Lon­don, the Dul­wich Pic­ture Gallery, the Muse­um De Lak­en­hal Lei­den, the Rijksmu­se­um Ams­ter­dam, the Gemälde­ga­lerie Berlin and the Graphis­che Samm­lung of the Uni­ver­si­ty of Tri­er (direc­tor and teach­ing at uni­ver­si­ty lev­el). I was a board mem­ber of the Ger­man Orga­ni­za­tion for the Study of Dutch and Flem­ish Art and Cul­ture (Arbeit­skreis Nieder­ländis­che Kun­st- und Kul­turgeschichte e.V.) for sev­en years. My schol­ar­ly lec­tures and pro­fes­sion­al pub­li­ca­tions include stud­ies on Dutch prints, paint­ing, and art collecting.
