Born Göttingen, Germany, in 1965,[1] Eichenberg graduated from Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam in 1994.
[2] Eichenberg taught at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie beginning in 1996, and became head of the Jewelry Department from 2000–2007.
[3] She has been Artist in Residence and head of the Metalsmithing Department at Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan since 2006.
[2] The Cranbrook Museum of Art review of her work for her "Bend" exhibit noted it "...is renowned for its diverse collections and challenges to the definitions of craft and jewelry; the result is an unconventional retrospective of her twenty-five-year career told through a body of new work.
Related in some way to the body, her constructions produce sensorial and emotional effects that stretch conventional boundaries to explore structures of feeling".
