She is the author of an autobiographical comic book entitled My Mother was a Beautiful Woman, about her childhood and the time of apartheid, seen from a white family.
She and her sister were sent to a boarding school and encountered other backgrounds: "in the midst of my misfortune, I discovered that I belonged to the privileged class".
She then worked as a freelance illustrator and resumed post-graduate studies at the University of Pretoria, which she finished in early 2006 (Academic Honors, Master's Degree, Information Design).
[2] This resulted in an autobiographical comic book, first published in Switzerland (in German), titled Meine Mutter war eine Schöne Frau (My mother was a very beautiful woman), about her childhood memories, relationships with her sister, her parents' separation, and the apartheid era, told from the perspective of a white family in South Africa at the time.
[2][5][6] Continuing as an artist, making paintings and sculptures, she has also worked as an illustrator for children's literature, and as a lecturer in her initial art school at the Stellenbosch University.
