paintings are a celebration of the abundant
natural splendor of the wild. I intend to express
the spirit and mystery of nature through my
artwork, and hope to inspire conservation of our beautiful
environment. Each image is an invitation for you to follow
your imagination, feelings and memories.
MY
Greatly inspired by the early California Impressionists, I attempt to reflect the
radiance of color and light in the landscape. Like them, I love to express the
golden glow of our California light, and the soulful spirit of our land, whether
en plein air or in the studio. Living close to the world famous Big Sur coast,
I am fortunate to paint the passionate wildness of this awe inspiring place.
I’ve been exhibiting and selling my work since 1980. Born and raised in
Germany, the visual arts were part of my life from early on. My paintings
have been featured at select galleries, in numerous juried and one woman
shows, in calendars and magazines, as well as on a wine label. My
organization PaintTheParks.com involves artists worldwide donating to
parks, to preserve our natural treasures for future generations.
