A Bit About Me
I am a painter, collage artist, and printmaker. I’m also a German-born artist whose love for art can be traced back to my childhood. As a young girl, I was always drawn to artsy things, whether it be music, dance, theater or visual arts. It wasn't until I moved to the United States, however, that I began to explore and obtain a formal education in the arts.
Raised in Europe, I have been influenced by many different painting styles, which can be seen in my own art. My works have a distinguishable look with my strong colors and textures. Many of my compositions are anchored with geometric shapes and lines, creating both balance and tension. Texture is a very important element in my work.
My works have been exhibited in art galleries and organizations throughout the United States. My art was also featured in "Project 36" with Theater Arts West and the Playwrights and Artists Series II, and See Me gallery. I joined several art festivals such as the Paso Robles Art Festival and the Oceanside Art Festival.
Recently, I just completed a non-objective abstract commission piece. I also completed a commission piece for Europa Village Winery in Temecula in California as well as several others in Arizona.
I am a member of the Wickenburg Art Center and Gallery, Sonoran Arts League and the Ground Floor Artists.
And I am currently represented by the Finer Arts Gallery in Cave Creek, AZ.

artist statement
My work is rooted in the language of abstraction - compositions that embrace spontaneity, emotion, and mystery. I work primarily in acrylic, often building layers with collage, texture and colors to create visual depth and movement.
Faces of women appear frequently in my work, emerging from the abstract as quiet witnesses or bold presences. They are not portraits, but symbols - of strength, complexity and story.
My current body of work, Bare Beauties, is powerful and an intimate series that centers on women living with hair loss based on my own experience with hair loss. My work speaks to themes of identity, vulnerability, and the quiet strength found in self-acceptance. My art invites viewers to reconsider conventional notions of beauty and femininity.
Whether I’m painting, collaging with painted papers, or printing, I approach each piece as an invitation - to be present, to take risks, and to stay open to what wants to emerge.
