Creativity is a gift, bringing joy and magic to my life. Thankful for this gift I want to express and share my joy of life and love for nature through my paintings. In addition to traditional watercolour paintings I also create watercolour batik paintings on japanese rice paper, and paint on the synthetic "paper",(YUPO) with watercolours. Monoprints/ monotypes in acrylics as well as linocuts and soft pastels are further media I use to express my ideas. I am constantly inspired by the wonders in our nature. On the other hand, ordinary everyday objects, especially abandoned or nostalgic ones, trigger my phantasy - resulting to artworks with a touch of fairytale and silent humour. I see paintings as visual stories, the same way I see stories as verbal paintings. I have a close and warm relationship with all my subjects and only paint what attracts me at the moment. I also believe in life-long learning; every sheet is my tutor!
Joy of life through art - art through joy of life!
