The October Collection

While I have escaped autumn for a fortnight soaking up the sun and mediterranean beauty on the island of Mallorca, this month’s collection ‘Prairie Flora’ heavily focuses on the autumn and winter season. I have signed up for a couple of projects with Patternmash and the first one was a theme called Praerielands for AW… Read More

The September Collection

This month I played with layers, blend modes and overlays. I combined recent floral photography with hand painted textures of mine, mainly from my Daily Moods for my collection ‘Flora Translucens’. These designs would look great on silk scarves, placement prints on T-Shirts or on iPhone cases, I think. I liked them so much on… Read More

Pink Moment of the Week

I haven’t done a Pink Moment for a while, so now it’s time again, because it was just too good: This is a pink pigment I experimented with for painting. And it is special pigment for me, because it is a gift from my art buddy Doris Reske from her recent trip to Venice to… 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

Pattern 46/52

I designed my pattern for this week for the Spoonflower contest Moon Phases. It is another pattern from my Mallorca holiday and was created under the influence of the full moon there, right in front of our balcony: I like circles and circle-based designs and this geometric pattern came together in Illustrator: Head over to… Read More

Pattern 44/52

Being on the island of Mallorca those past two weeks, right in front of our hotel, I saw a lot of pink hibiscus. I am not such a big fan of those flowers and find them a tad overused in all kinds of tropical designs (which I had a lot of time to study on… Read More

Blue Moments – Water and Sky

If you know me a bit through my blog, work or personally, you might have noticed how much I am drawn to the colour pink. Our vacation on Mallorca had its pink moments for sure, but one colour was predominant there – blue. I would like to share a couple of these blue moments, that… 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

I am off to some early Easter holidaying ☀️🌼☀️

It will not be quite as warm and tropical and bikini-weather like as for @juliadeniraco in @vavea_bikini (with a print of mine 🌴🌺👙)

Still - a lot of vitamin sea will be involved for sure 🌊 and I might be posting a bit here and there, but mostly I will go with the flow. Sea you!

Straight out of my sketchbook - ‘Doodle Jungle’ for French brand @lafianceeofficiel 

I love how they worded their brand story - it draws inspiration from its many travels across the globe and infuses it in its collections with their vibrant prints. They strive to share the principals of a joyful and constantly changing/travelling femininity in which feeling good and having a great time is of utmost importance. 

Travel, vibrancy, joy and femininity - I have one more print with them coming 🌴🌸💫

That’s how it goes - I painted this tropical art That’s how it goes - I painted this tropical artwork in wintery Northern Germany about this time three years ago, made it into a repeating pattern, licensed it to Swedish brand @brightswimwear in July last year, they launched it on swimwear as part of their ‘Hearts on Fire’ collection a month ago, and now it is already hitting the beaches of Hawaii, Florida and Australia. We have had quite a bit of snow here in Northern Germany recently 😉
