About me

I create layered, tactile paintings that bridge realism and abstraction—art that feels as much as it speaks. Inspired by nature’s quiet wisdom, my work explores texture, light, and meaning, inviting the viewer to pause and connect.

Texture is at the heart of my process. I work with raw linen, sand, crushed seashells, and gold leaf, building surfaces that feel weathered, woven, and alive. My colors are drawn from the world around me—the soft pinks of dusk, the serene blues of the Pacific coastline, and the golden light of the California sun.

Hummingbirds appear throughout my paintings as small but powerful symbols of joy, resilience, and connection.

Originally from Germany, I studied under European artists before making my home in Southern California, where I refined my artistic voice at the Milan Art Institute. My work has been exhibited at juried shows like Laguna Beach’s Art-A-Fair and is available through private collections, commissions, and online.
