About me

1961, lives and works in Altstätten, Switzerland.

Pencil and watercolour in the beginning. Later, discovery of the various possibilities of oils and their translucency. Scraperboard and pigments open up new ways of expression.

Artistic work has been an important part of my life since my childhood. Inspired and supported by my parents I have been able to explore many areas of creative work.

Studies of the nude figure in watercolour workshops at Bratt School, New York
Oil painting at the College of Art, Edinburgh
Processes and painting with Barbara Bamert at Art School, St. Gallen
Printing techniques with Helmut Sennhauser at Art School, St. Gallen
Pencil, charcoal and scraperboard workshops with Michael Zellweger, Altstätten

Nature inspires me and I hope to depict nature in its fragile beauty.
