Artist Statement:
Being a multi-talented person, I enjoy making mixed media pieces. It's great fun to use whatever is next to the table or easel, incorporating the materials in a bath of acrylics.
Being synaesthetic, I totally enjoy bringing together different materials and components, adding visual wealth to my innate skills.
In each case, my work represents a single moment in my life and can not be reproduced.
I was born and raised in Germany, moved to Canada in 2003.

Artistic Influences:
Daily life influences me. The nature, sounds, laughter, the nearby harbour. Through my synaesthetic nature, I experience numbers in colours, words in shapes etc........a never ending flow of inspiration.
