Let me introduce myself!

 I'm sitting in my studio in Canada, contemplating what my first blog post should be about.
While I'm eager to share my latest work and future projects, I believe it’s essential to introduce myself properly first.
​
I was born in Germany and lived there until my mid-twenties. Since I was a little girl, my dream has always been to become an artist. Like many children, I enjoyed painting and even won several painting competitions, but my professional art journey began in a different way. From a young age, I was captivated by photography, obsessed with capturing moments in time. I bought my first professional camera when I was eighteen, initially focusing on landscapes, castles, and old cemeteries.

Eventually, I fell in love with portrait photography, inspired by my passion for music and everything dark and mysterious. Soon after that, I rediscovered my love for painting. I have always been drawn to painting faces. I started creating my girls in 2006. Over the past 20 years, my style has evolved, and my medium and materials have changed—from abstract faces to big-eyed art, from acrylics to oils, and from paper to canvas.

People often ask me if I ever get tired of painting faces. Honestly, I don’t, because each face tells a story, a feeling, or a song I was listening to at the time. When I look at my paintings from the last 20 years, I can remember exactly what was happening in my life during each moment. My portraits are like a diary, telling the pain and joy I felt at those times. In addition to painting, I began creating my own jewelry in 2008. What started as a little side project soon became something much bigger for me. I love creating pieces that reflect my own aesthetic style. In 2010, I opened my first shop and have been selling my jewelry online ever since. 
I hope you liked the little inside view! I will continue this blog, writing about my art, jewelry and other projects!
