I am a self-taught artist.
I love the beauty of anything old. Be it objects from the past, dilapidated walls, buildings, old or even abandoned houses, old furniture – what emanates from them. On holidays you’ll find me strolling through the old parts of the place we stay, and my work in general is inspired by these things.
My goal is to make the world a more colorful place by giving new life to secondhand furniture with a little paint and a lot of love. I have always been fascinated by color and the possibilities of transforming something with it. Isn’t it just incredible how it can completely change the soul of a whole interior, room or piece of furniture and even our mood?
I’m a little (or maybe big) hoarder of art supplies, and I love using a big variety of techniques. A lot of different tools, layers of paint to achieve dimension and depth, papers, stamps, stencils and other artistic mediums. When I paint and create, I’m in my happy place.
Originally German from Bavaria I’m married to a Swiss (my rock and biggest support) and living in the French part of Switzerland, in Sion with my family. Proud mom of 3 and granny to a beautiful little girl.
I spend a lot of time in Malta, a small Mediterranean island, which is very near and dear to my heart as I spent my teenage years there. Many years later, this special place is where all the painting and my creative adventure started and where I got hooked on what I do today
It’s a great inspiration and place for me.
In Switzerland it’s the mountains and pastures and in Malta it’s the Cacti, sea and sun.
