co-founded artists' groups Kiss the Demon (2007) and the Drawing Workshop (2007), a nomadic art laboratory for experimental, collective art practice, which led to the setting up of multi-functional project space the Kotti-Shop (2009) and more recently the print workshop Copyroboter (2010).
She works alone as well as collaboratively. Her main focuses are print, paper, process, text, colour, chance, people and change.
