I STARTED OUT AS A HAIR STYLIST IN MY HOMETOWN OF SALZBURG, AUSTRIA, BUT IT ALL CHANGED IN 1992 WHEN I MOVED TO BERLIN AND FOUND MY TRUE CALLING AS A MAKE UP ARTIST. I OWE THANKS TO MY MENTOR, CHRISTIAN HOPPE, FOR CULTIVATING MY LOVE OF PAINTING ON HUMAN BODIES AND TEACHING ME THE SECRETS TO THIS ART.
AFTER WORKING THROUGHOUT EUROPE, I MOVED TO NEW YORK AND WORKED CLOSELY WITH NOTABLE MAKEUP ARTISTS SUCH AS KEVYN AUCOIN. FRANCOIS NARS, STEPHANE MARAIS AND LINDA CANTELLO. EXPERIENCE LIKE THIS MAKE ME HAPPY TO LIVE AND WORK IN THIS AMAZING CITY THAT HAS BECOME MY HOME.
