I was born in Vienna in 1952. In my youth, I enjoyed drawing and painting. In later years, I lost track of my love for creativity as I had devoted myself to working with numbers in my career. From accounting and controlling to leading accounting departments for large corporations, I have always enjoyed working with numbers; however, upon retiring, I rediscovered my passion for the arts. In doing so, I brought to life my greatest dream from my youth: to draw and to paint…

About my work
My fascination for portraits as well as acts and still-life has resulted in a concentration that continually draws my attention and keeps me occupied.
For me, to paint means to express, process, and transport feelings of both love and passion using color. Painting should astound, seduce, convince, and, at times, confuse its audience. It serves as a conversation between the inner- and outer world. Art speaks from soul to soul (O. Wilde)
About my teachers
VOKA’s (Rudolf Vogl) „spontaneous realism“ as well as his use of intense color had a profound impact on me. From 2002 to 2007, I visited several seminars and painting sessions with him.
Mag. Michaela Ghisetti encouraged me in finding more confidence in my work, loosening up, and, at times, expressing myself more by painting less. She demanded that I learn to “look closely” and pay exact attention. I attended her seminars at the „Kummer“ Studio from 2005 to 2009.
Mag. Art. Karl Schnetzinger: Since 2010, he has accompanied me on my artistic journey using his quiet and calm demeanor to draw my attention towards deciding factors and details at just the right moment. His approach has always been effective in getting the correct answer out of me with little effort. He picks me up where I am and brings me one step closer to my goal.
Richard Jurtitsch: We have been working on various projects together in his studio since 2012. Among other things, I have even attempted my own versions of renowned classics. In challenging myself in the aforementioned way, I was able to expand on my abilities using different techniques. Together, we shared many laughs and a lot fun, much of which resulted in us creating a series devoted to blossoms as well as other exciting works on canvas. For this, we used several of my photographs as inspiration.
