About my life
I was born in March 1958, grew up and went to school in a village called Brünlos. This small village is a part of highland called Erzgebirge in the Southeast-Germany.
Even as a child, I enjoyed it to express my imagination by painting. Although I never received good grades in the art lessons, my interest in drawing remained not only, it increased. I improved myself with every painting.
As I became a teenager, of course I started to have a crush on "stars" too. The only difference between me and other kids in my age was , that I drew the posters of my "stars" at my own.
1974, I began a teacher-education. 1978 I graduated as a teacher for elementary education. It was my dream profession. During my studies I found out also my favorite motives for painting, namely kids. In this time I created my first portraits of children. For the next years children stayed my favorite subject, especially during the years of service as teacher in Germany and abroad.
In Lebanon I spent my best time in my life and in my job as teacher. During these years I painted many children, of course especially my pupils.
After my stay in Lebanon, I started to paint also for other people. Of course it was not possible anymore to confine myself to draw only portraits of kids. From that time I painted also a lot of portraits of babies, animals, adults and stars. The result of my work during all these years are more then 500 children from 40 different countries that I immortalized on paper.
Since January 2009 I started to work as a self-employed painter and I devote myself to the wishes of my clients.
