I love everything involving water, waterlilies, nature and light. My desire is to catch a moment in nature forever on canvas. So that you can take it home with you. To paint for me is like entering a secret treasure place parallel to the outside world, where I can go every time I want to. My easel waits for me and painting gives me strength and happiness. A peaceful quiet place, where I can always find me. I put all my love, power and fun into my work and I am sure that my paintings will give all of that to its new home.
I was born and raised up in Rendsburg, Schleswig-Holstein between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, which draws my desire to water. I live now in Hamburg with my husband and our two children. I paint with acrylic on canvas with brushes, palette knives and my fingers. Ever since I remember I have supplied my family and friends with my paintings. I was trained by different well-known artists. I was finally courageous enough to go all in the art world. I am a full-time artist and it is an exciting and fulfilling wonderful journey.
I took part in multiple solo- and group exhibitions. My paintings can be seen in publications including Vogue Magazine UK, The World Of Interiors, House and Garden UK online and many more.
Here are some photos of me at work in my studio. When I need very high quality photos for posters, I let the well known photographer Enver Hirsch from Hamburg do that.
