3 new things I learned in 2019
At the beginning of 2020 I took some moments to look back at last year and realised what a year it has been in terms of learning. Besides my usual hustle-and-bustle of designing prints and patterns, I made sure to try new things. And it wasn’t really that I had to make sure – the… Read More
Albania Sketchbook
Hello from Tirana, the capital of the country the Albanians themselves call Shqipëria! We are starting our summer trip around the country in this laid-back and more-modern-than-one-would-think city and get a first taste of the feel, food, people – and scenery. This quick sketch is from our funicular ride up the Dajti Mountain with spectacular… Read More
Marrakech Sketchbook
In April our family went to Marrakech for a week and the city of colours, noise and smells that has inspired so many didn’t fail to disappoint, from an artist’s and textile designer’s view.

What makes them furthermore special is that the company decided to sell each scarf with… Read More
Summer in Cuba
It’s been already three weeks since we came back from our three weeks of travelling in Cuba. And now that everything is unpacked, the photos are downloaded, the stories have been told dozens of times and the whole travel experience has become categorized in my brain and body it is time to show some impressions… Read More
CoLabs, Year Two
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
Philodendron Love
Call it Philodendron, Monstera, Split Leaf or Swiss cheese plant – I simply can’t get enough of this tropical plant. And I was happy seeing them during our holiday on Lanzarote abound. I photographed them, I drew them, I painted them – and turned them into patterns, of course. These patterns are now available for… Read More
