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
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
Last night our biggest (up-to-now) art show opened in Delmenhorst, Germany. 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. Large acrylic paintings (quite a few of them collaborations), mixed-media collages by me and iPhoneography prints by Doris show… Read More
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

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
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
I am continuing the 30-day-instagram-photo-challenge “gathering evidence” with prompts by photographer Catherine Just here on holiday in Mallorca. After capturing these special moments in my everyday life at home (you can see them here), it is quite a different and exciting thing doing this in new and beautiful surroundings. the prompts: top row: gratitude, watching,… Read More
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
