Textile Artist

 

I’m a Fine Artist, specializing in unique textile paintings and mixed media fiber art. My own intense curiosity, deep respect for nature, humans, science and technology are my sources of inspiration. My artistic explorations lead to representational as well as abstract art. Abstractions can be a response to concepts, or form and color themselves are the inspiration. Designing for site-specific installation are a natural outcome of my curiosity.

​

My approach stems from the desire to release my inner creativity.  What comes from deep within my heart meets with the world, engages and collaborates with others in simplicity and complexity. It leads to innovative, high-quality artwork and projects.

 

Credentials:

  • B.A. degree ("Textilgestaltung") from the University in Cologne, Germany
