The Magic Behind My Art

Through my art, I aim to inspire people to rediscover their dreams and reconnect with their deepest desires. Each of my paintings tells a story – awakening childhood memories, celebrating the beauty of nature, and inviting the viewer on a magical journey filled with imagination and self-discovery.

 

My Passion for Painting

As a passionate painter, I find endless joy in the vibrant world of colors. Every artwork I create is more than mere decoration – it is a bridge between dream and reality, transforming the ordinary into something extraordinary and filled with wonder.

When I paint, I am fully present. The birdsong outside my studio, the laughter of children, and the rhythm of daily life around me flow into my creative process. Inspiration finds me in walks through my hometown, in artistic research, and in moments of spontaneous beauty – such as discovering a gilded object that sparks my imagination.

Every encounter, every moment feeds my passion for painting and infuses my work with a sense of curiosity and awe.

 

Art as an Expression of Inner Worlds

My art opens a window into parallel realities – blending the visible and the invisible, the remembered and the imagined. I combine classical oil painting with mixed media, collage, and luxurious materials such as 24-karat gold leaf. My process merges spontaneous abstraction with realistic precision. While the imagery may seem clear at first glance, closer inspection reveals delicate layers, hidden textures, and subtle symbolism.

 

Curated Collections as Stages of Transformation

My collections reflect the stages of inner evolution – from the subconscious to joyful play, from courage to clarity:

– Soulgarden

Inspired by the depths of the subconscious and the mystery of the ocean. A world of fluid silence and inner wisdom.

– Magic Dreamer

A tribute to the child within – filled with carousels, balloons, dreams, and whimsical memories.

– Wings of a New Reality

Butterflies and symbols of transformation – for those ready to rise into a new chapter of their lives.

– Ligne d’Or

Gold, elegance, and timeless grace – expressing fulfillment, French heritage, and the richness of inner clarity.

 

The Journey into Visibility

My professional journey began in 2014, when I presented my paintings publicly for the first time at a women’s wine tasting on International Women’s Day. Since then, I have dedicated my life to creating original works for collectors and exhibiting across various venues. In 2017, I launched a collaborative project with my husband, supporting international wildlife conservation through art.

 

Materials with Soul

I use high-quality linen, wood panels, textured grounds, pigments, pastels, charcoal, ink, acrylics, and richly pigmented oil paints. I intuitively select materials that support the emotional intention of each piece. My process also includes the integration of stencils for 3D surface effects and the use of genuine gold leaf or finely crafted gold imitations to create luxurious, tactile contrasts.

 

Rooted in Life, Driven by Vision

I live and work in a picturesque wine village in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, where I run a family-owned vineyard with my husband and our two grown sons. This environment – deeply connected to nature, rhythm, and tradition – constantly nurtures my artistic expression.

My art emerges where life and dreams meet.
