Doris Reske and me show 65 pieces of art on the tree floors of the Lichthof-Gallery which is part of the former Nordwolle fabric area.

Downtown – a new exhibition

This week my favourite art-partner-in-crime Doris Reske and me opened a new art show. It is called “Downtown” and that is also the exact whereabouts of the exhibition, right in the city centre of Oldenburg, in what I think, is the most beautiful café of the city Kaffee & Kleid. Its German name means “coffee… Read More

Deep November

November is definitely a special month. Not only because my younger daughter’s birthday is at the end of it and a lot of November is spent talking about how many nights there are still left to sleep before her big day arrives. November itself is a mysterious month to me, a time for retreat, contemplation,… Read More

A Photo Challenge

Another week, another challenge ;-). Because one challenge (this here) is just not enough, I also joined the #gatheringevidence Instagram photo challenge by American photographer Catherine Just, whose soulful photography I discovered recently. For 30 days she gives photo prompts, that keep you thinking, feeling, observing and taking photos with your iPhone – I joined… Read More

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 27/52

My summer patterning continues, with yummy summer inspiration all around us. Recently, we went strawberry picking with the girls on a local farm nearby. Especially our little Carolina is very fond of strawberries and so I wanted to preserve some of this summer goodness in a pattern. And I had to draw my sketches quickly… Read More

A Week of Poppies II

Today’s combination is poppies and iPhoneography. This photo collage was made last weekend, when I visited Oldenburg’s local museum and took a picture of a doll bed. I combined it with a my neighbour’s poppy field (my neighbour has a super-green thumb, I see her working around her garden nearly all the time in spring… Read More

A Week of Poppies I

It is poppies blooming season right now and I want to celebrate this beauty with a week dedicated to this flower. All my posts, paintings, patterns and photographs will be poppy-related. Starting off with a collage of the poppies all around me – basically in my own garden and in my neighbour’s frontyard. (you know,… Read More

I am a big fan of both and already took their Co-Lab painting & iPhoneography course last year (without having an iPhone, but working in Photoshop instead). Having updated my devices recently, I am… Read More

I still can’t really believe it’s summer now! I still can’t really believe it’s summer now! It’s like longing for it all year and now it came like a surprise, strange thing.

Still a month of work ahead for me, but then - let’s start dreaming, this photo by @malswim with my Aloha print puts me in the right tropical state of mind 🌴🌊👙

My ‘Mixed Media Little Portraits’ 30min class My ‘Mixed Media Little Portraits’ 30min class with @etchr_studio is now on YouTube, to watch for free (and draw along, of course!)

I had so much fun in the live demo showing my process of doing these easy and quick portraits which are even more fun if you use photos of your loved ones as reference. Thank you Kathleen of @deartoourhearts for being such an excellent host.

If you are interested, the link to the art demo is waiting for you in my bio linktree. Also check out my stories for the amazing students’ work 🎨
