Vita

My hometown was Regensburg, Germany. I studied at the university of Munich (LMU) from 1974 to 1982 and Technical University of Munich. I graduated with a Masters degree. Since childhood painting and drawing were always my real passion. I also took additional lessons as often as possible in these areas of expertise. 

1983 I became a member of a group of artists in Munich. I produced unique items made of
clay. Using the medium of clay I could realize my artistic expression through the materials 
softness and flexibility. My sculptures and objects found their way into exhibitions in the 
artist quarter in Munich and into galleries and journals. Wholesalers became aware of my creations and started ordering tableware designed by me.

1988 I founded my own company TERRA ARTE and created exclusive and unique art works in 
ceramics, glass and steel. These products were exhibited at international trade shows and sold 
worldwide. My goal was always to produce an esthetic, elegant and timeless design line.

Besides designing tableware, my passion for drawing and painting became a new priority.
Through my continuous work in the field of design over 30 years, I developed talent for the
combination of colors and forms. Having settled with my husband in Florida, I can now finally
fully enjoy painting as my primary occupation
