Born in Bonn-Bad Godesberg in 1975, I spent my childhood on the beautiful Marienforst estate. After leaving school, I lived in Oldenburg for 17 years and finally returned to Bonn in 2012, where I live with my three children.
I love nature, its colours, the light, the vastness. It fascinates me just as much as it inspires me and gives me energy and relaxation.
I am fascinated by detail and subtlety as well as rough structures, old walls and doors, witnesses to stories and the past. I see and discover complexity and beauty in them, which are partly hidden beneath the decay but are nevertheless visible. These impressions are reflected in my paintings between fine brushstrokes and colour combinations on a coarsely structured background.
