Between Contemplation and Introspection
Through deep attention, I explore the shifting beauty and diversity of people, places, and nature, as well as the emotional territories within. My work gives visual form to both the world around me and the one I carry inside.
Working across soft pastels, watercolor, ink, gouache, pencil, and charcoal to allow each subject to find its own voice.
Selected works
Character and emotion
Drawn to gesture, posture, expression, and dress, I explore how emotion and individual character become visible in the human figure.
The Territory of the Self
The ones I was, the ones I am, the ones I am becoming.
An ongoing dialogue between body, memory, and emotion. Here image begins with an inner impulse rather than a conscious intention. Drawing and painting give that impulse form, allowing something felt internally to become visible, tangible, and open to reflection and communication.

Home is where the heart feels free.
The landscapes of Geismar and its surroundings in Softpastels
Day by day, the landscapes become so different that it is impossible not to be fascinated by the beauty of transformation. The landscape throughout the seasons. The change, the shifting light, and the constant flow between blossoming and decay.

OBSESSIONS
One Summer I discovered the thistles… and I got some thistle’s fever, that stays with me until today.

In meinem Garten find ich Viel Blumen, schön und fein,
viel Kränze, wohl draus wind ich,
Und tausend Gendanken bind ich
Und Grüße mit darein […]
The art in place
Painted on location, my artwork captures the essence and diversity of people and places realistically. Moved by the beauty around me, whether familiar or novel, nature is my main studio and my greater source of inspiration.
