It’s been over a year since our first CoLab anniversary in March last year and as I was riding my back home from Doris Reske‘s and my 23rd Colab painting session this morning, I thought it was time for an update. So we have added another 11 painting sessions! We had such a lovely May… Read More
Last Sunday was the last day of my summer vacation and totally incidentally also the last day of my 100-day-project. Some say it takes 21 days to form a new habit, others say 28 or 66 days. So 100 days are plenty! I started on April 27 2016 and painted my 100 days all through… Read More
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
I love a good collaborative art session and I count myself very lucky that I have my art buddy Doris Reske living and working with me in Oldenburg and that we have our monthly Co-Lab painting sessions together – like our fun last one, the first one of 2016. Last year I took part in… 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
This week’s theme for sketching and my pattern-making totally naturally popped up – mushrooms! When I went for a little jog last Sunday I saw loads of them having appeared overnight. Mushrooms are so much associated with autumn/fall and are such a big part of my childhood memories that my mushroom gathering instinct was instantly… Read More
Back home from a 6-day-European-city-family-holiday. Before we went, I discovered this yarn graffiti in front of Oldenburg train station: More about this super-relaxed, inspirational and only mildly mind-blowing getaway after I have unpacked.
My solo exhibition at the Body- and Health center Corpus in Oldenburg opened this week. What about stepping on a scale and look at some art? Work out, sweat and be motivated by my colourful paintings. The exhibition is open to the public during the working hours of the sports center until June. PS: A… Read More
