Curriculum Vitae
I was born in Glattfelden (Switzerland) in 1956 and moved into the region of Wartau in 1981. In 2006 I began to revive my creative skills step by step. Since 2013 I work as a freelance artist. While studying at the ”Liechtenstein School of Art” new vistas and horizons opened up to my art. In addition to my graphic and subtle pencil drawings, paintings in acryl and oil became an integral part of my creation. Equipped with this enhanced expertise I realized my ideas on paper and canvas in my own studio.
I received 2013 the certificate for studies at the ”School for Art and Design” in Zurich (Switzerland).
As the human existence and its effect on a global scale thrill me, my work deals with the here and now. Since the beginning of 2012 I concentrate on my new specialty ”Art Print”, which is a big and colorful copy of a black-and-white pencil drawing.
For a few years now I successfully display my artistic oeuvre at exhibistions both at home and abroad (for example in Singapore, Estland, Spain, Italy, USA, England, Germany, Austria, the Principality of Liechtenstein and Switzerland).
