Artist Details

My artistic journey began watching my father, a Master Baker, create beautiful works of art with his cakes and pastries. I am a German-born, California-based artist, and immigrated to the USA at the age of 21 from Ansbach, Germany. I discovered my love for painting during a rather sad and dark time in my life. This discovery has helped me grow into a very happy person with a great love for life - something i hope to share through my paintings. Family has always been very important to me, and watching my grandchildren develop some artistic talents, has been very gratifying. Some of my work is in private collections in Europe and the USA. I reside in Gilroy, California.

Most of my inspiration comes from the world around me, people, emotions, and beautiful scenery. We live in a very colorful world, where nature and life itself provides us with so much inspiration to paint. I love using bright, vibrant colors to bring a painting to life. Although I enjoy painting landscapes, the use of different color combinations, and the freedom of expression when I paint abstract, is still my favorite painting style.
