After devoting three decades to the field of marketing communication, for several years Gerda has undertaken a new career as a plastic artist. She collaborates closely with the artistic collective "Grosses Lacunes" and with her husband, Guido Janssens, in "The Muybridge Collective".

Gerda works in various artistic disciplines such as installations, video art and sculpture; however, it is in painting where she has been a finalist in seven art competitions just in the last year, including two nominations for the International Arte Laguna Prize.

She has exhibited her work in curatorial exhibitions in world-renowned cities such as Venice (Arsenal) - Italy, Berlin - Germany, Brooklyn NY - USA, Dordrecht - Netherlands, Almeria, Spain as well as in several cities in Belgium. In addition, she has received multiple grants from the Brussels-Walloon Federation for projects carried out with "Grosses Lacunes", including for the curatorship of the "Grand Ecart" contemporary art festival.
