About Me

My photo
I am an artist, and in particular a draughtswoman. I have lived in several European countries and I speak several European languages. I grew up in Germany and German is my native language. I studied art in The Hague, Netherlands. I have been drawing all my life. To me, drawing is another language; and the act of drawing is like writing down what comes from the unthinking mind.

What is the most difficult of it all? It is what seems to you to be the easiest: See with the eyes what lies before your eyes. (Goethe)

Illustrations for a poem by Christian Morgenstern

"Himmel und Erde"

Der Nachtwindhund weint wie ein Kind, dieweil sein Fell von Regen rinnt.

Jetzt jagt er wild das Neumondweib, das hinflieht mit gebognem Leib.

Tief unten geht, ein dunkler Punkt, querüberfeld ein Forstadjunkt.
