After many years working as a neuroscientist, I shifted my focus to art, where I could explore light, perception, and emotion more intuitively. I grew up in Belgium, where the sky is often cloudy and gray, so sunlight has always felt precious to me: the way it reflects, casts shadows, and quietly transforms familiar objects still fascinates me.

In my work, I explore the interplay of light, material, and memory, often using reflective and shifting surfaces that change as you move around them. I work across painting, sculpture, ceramics, glass, printmaking, and photography, combining everyday materials with moments of surprise. Whether I am using metal, clay, paint, or salvaged objects, my goal is simple: to spark curiosity and create small moments of joy.

My artwork has been shown in solo and group exhibitions at San Jose State University, in several Bay Area galleries, and at the De Young Museum in San Francisco. I now live and work in Oakland, California.
