is a renowned German artist who lives and works on the Baltic Sea island of Fehmarn. Her atmospheric, meditative acrylic paintings are characterized by complex layers of color, luminous light, and a palpable sense of calm—an aesthetic and spiritual expression of an inner connection with nature.
Artistic Philosophy: "Where Silence Becomes Space"
"With layers of paint, I build the space of the painting and immerse myself in a calm sphere characterized by peace and an intimate connection with nature. My desire to detach from representation leads to a language that is less anchored in reality, more abstract, and more focused on expressing emotions directly—a need that is as aesthetic as it is spiritual."

In addition to her own artistic practice, she can look back on extensive teaching experience at various schools and worked as a painting instructor until 2022.
