I am a German born Australian Artist.
Being born in the Black Forest in Germany I escaped the confinements of living in a village at an early age and lived in several big cities. Most of my life I resided in North Rhine-Westphalia in the North Western part of Germany, close to the Dutch border.
In 1996 I married and my husband and I had our son in 1997. We immigrated to Australia, Queensland, in 2009.
I am self-taught and artistically evolved especially within the last 10 years.
Since many years regularly exhibit in the local Townsville exhibitions at our Community Information Centre, the yearly St James Cathedral Art Exhibition, at Perc Tucker Regional Gallery and other galleries in the surrounding area.
Throughout my life painting has been my refuge.
The process of painting transfers me to magical places where I am free and happy, a place which is full of colour and which is mine alone. Mainly, I paint are from my heart and soul.
My paintings might be therefore classed “contemporary” or “modern”.
Since decades I am a Reiki Master and infuse Reiki into all my paintings. I believe harmony, balance and a bit of “woo” is an important spice to live our life.
Working with Australian soil originated during the first years in Australia, realising the beauty of the many different colours of the soil that are available in this country. I call my soil range paintings “DirtArt” because that is what it is, the dirt we walk on which is widely disregard.
Currently, I am mainly painting with acrylics, sometimes with water colour. I never had a specific style but my paintings are recognised for the use of bold colours.
