Born in Thuringia in 1958, after graduating from high school, she studied elementary school teacher with the elective subject art education and worked in this profession until 1987. Social and private changes meant that the mother of three children sought and mastered a wide variety of professional challenges.

Among other things, she worked in the design of Thuringian Christmas tree decorations, as the headmistress of a private educational institution and most recently as a social worker for 16 years. She never lost sight of art.

In order to fully devote herself to her real passion, voluntarily leaving her secure working life in January 2017 was a necessary consequence for her.

Since that time, the Thuringian, who lives in Franconia, has followed her true calling of art and has been a freelance artist since 2018.

Her deep connection to nature, the animals and the love of detail are reflected in her artistic work. She likes to use found objects from nature or to work out 3D elements herself.

When painting the beauties of flora and fauna, she is very close to them and expresses her feelings with the colors.

But she also articulates her feelings and opinions on world events with works on the subject of ocean pollution, media abundance, the Amazonas, cruise ships, dangers to animals or climate change.

In addition to figurative works, the artist turned to abstract, color-intensive painting in mid-2018 and was looking for ways to bring color to effect as the actual main element of the pictures. The artist herself describes it as ART in ART.
