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
Pattern 23/52
For this week’s pattern I played with a pattern palette and a fashion trend for spring/summer 2016 called Soft Pop. I wanted to get a feel for the colours and designed a scarf pattern for the recent Printed Village competition. Pastels and geometrics are a big part of this trend. Powdery pinks – why not?… Read More
Co-Lab III & IV
Doris Reske and me have just had some productive painterly weeks – we have our new exhibition at Gross & Gross in Oldenburg, where we show mostly our individual artwork and only one Co-Lab painting.

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

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
Pink Moments of the Month
I am recently taking a wonderful course with the amazing painter Alena Hennessy and photographer Susan Tuttle called Radiant HeART . 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
Pattern 17/52
This week’s pattern was created to a brief in week 2 of the ABSPD course Module 3 (The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design). The assignment was to design a tea towel using traditional media and only black, white and two other colours of choice. I really wanted to recycle the textures I made… Read More
