A Week in Orange
Orange is not a colour I am normally drawn to, but this week I saw it everywhere. From the glowing fall flora in town and the food on my table to the drawings in my sketchbook.

Pattern 37/52
At the beginning of this week I came down with quite a cold. For two days I didn’t feel too good and I helped my healing process with some wholesome food and a little sketching in the sun. These sketches then became the starting point for a new pattern collection, that emerged quite naturally. I… Read More
Harvest Sketches
It is mostly my sketchbook I go to for drawing and painting these September days. And the total vegan foodie that I am, I love drawing all the good things that are in season right now. And then eating them. This is quite a challenge for me, especially with figs, that are one of my… Read More
Hello September!
I must admit, I was quite resistant to turn Clara’s calendar yesterday morning, as it meant the official ending of my favourite season of the year. And summer gave us a nearly tropical day and evening on August 31 as a farewell gift, so waking up to rain and dropped temperatures on September 1 felt… Read More
Colab 6

Mostly little things,… Read More

I wanted to combine yellow colour blobs… Read More
Roses Near & Far
When I step outside our house onto the terrace these June days and look up, I have a view kind of like this: I’ll be leaving for Brighton/England tomorrow for the MATS Global Art Gathering. I have been taking the Make Art that sells online courses with the Lilla Rogers School over the last months… Read More
A Week of Poppies III
I made some sketches of the poppies in our garden. Who knows what they will become? Part of a pattern, a photo collage. Or just stay drawing and marvelling practice. As they are.
Pattern 14/52
The pattern of the week is the result of the work I did in Week 3 of the MATS B course. The market was scrapbooking – something that took me a while to grasp. There is no such market in Germany (yet), but we were provided with lots of information and visuals in the class… Read More
