ABOUT ME

Having  trained in Germany as a teacher of Art, German and French, and as an interpreter for French and Spanish, I always split my time between teaching and working as an artist.

 Since  my husband John and I moved to Norfolk, UK, in 2001, I also run a Bed and Breakfast.
In the last few years, I have started to design successful websites (including this website):

• The Manor House Trunch, Bed & Breakfast
• Grange Cottage, Bacton, Bed & Breakfast
• England Nonstop
• Cards Nonstop

I have exhibited in several exhibitions:

• European Patent Office Munich (1996, 1997, 1998)
• St Laurence's Art Centre, South Walsham, Norfolk/UK (2002, 2003, 2004)
• The C21 Gallery, Mundesley, Norfolk/UK (2003, 2004)

  ARTIST'S     STATEMENT

Nature, people, animals, the sea, the beaches, my own dreams and inner images inspire my work.

My inspiration also comes from primitive art, especially African and Mexican. And there are quite a few artists of all styles, whose work I adore, who also influence me: Antoni Tapies, Emil Schumacher, Horst Janssen, Anselm Kiefer, Henri Matisse, Pierre Bonnard, Edouard Vuillard, August Macke - only to mention a few of them.

My abstract paintings and mosaics are often drawn from shapes and textures which develop spontaneously into non-figurative forms.

I do not conceive my work to deliver a specific message. Each piece possesses its own message - as imagined and associated by the viewer.

I love experimenting, so I work in many different media.
