I studied at Chelsea College of Art and Design, Central St. Martins College of Art, and received a Masters in Sculpture from the Royal College of Art in London. Currently I am a PhD student at Athens School of Fine Art.
I attended an 8-month research program in CCA Kitakyushu (2003 – 2004 Japan). I have been an artist – in residence at NAHR (2023 Taleggio Valley, Alps), artAmari (2016 Crete), Galichnik (2011 Skopje), Leonidio Art Tower (2010 Peloponnese) and Cite International des Arts (2001 Paris).
