About me
For me, working freely with different materials, techniques , handmade paper, self-mixed colors and helpful tools is a pleasant way to create creativity.
Growing up in the country - in our family's own gardening business - I have been closely connected to nature and the changing seasons since childhood. I grew up in a huge garden by the water with fruit trees, vegetable, herb and flower beds, cats and freedom. I spent most of my time outside - but most of all by, on or in the water. These were formative years that I carry with me.
Studying the signatures of plants always gives me new inspiration. Medicinal plants have a very special meaning for me. Wild herbs were used thousands of years ago for holistic, natural healing. I do that myself too. My enthusiasm is reflected in the motifs of my prints. Natura artis magistra .
In my own printing workshop I work exclusively in an environmentally friendly way. I experiment with tried and tested and new natural materials, making my own papers from hemp, cotton, flax, maple and eucalyptus, for example.
I am currently working on large formats for various fairs and exhibitions in autumn 2024. I combine several techniques, papers and my printing plates from almost two decades.
