With launching my new website I felt it was also time to shift gears in my blog writing. Much to my own surprise, I wanted this new blog to be different. Not so much the topic; but I, myself, wanted to be entirely authentic: in my thoughts, my experiences, shortcomings, and dreams that revolve around [...]
A couple of weeks ago, I finally met Cy Twombly, the American painter, sculptor and photographer. First, I didn’t even notice him, because I was so spellbound by his painting “Untitled (Say Goodbye Catullus, to the Shores of Asia Minor)” that greeted me like an old friend in one of the first rooms when I [...]
Dreams are often weird. We all have experienced that, yet I had never expected to have reality turn out even weirder. A while ago I had a dream where I found myself looking into a circus tent. I stood in a small room adjacent to the big top. I remember that besides a person sitting [...]
It was the perfect time and place to discover a special place in the midst of the Thuringia Forest in Germany. It had been unusually hot and humid and so it felt like a great idea to visit the famous fairy grottoes in the small town of Saalfeld. The subterranean caverns that now served as a show [...]
Just recently I felt transported back in time to the Sacred Valley in Peru---which I had visited in 2013. If time wasn’t an issue, neither was place.

At one of the first beautiful and warm days of the new year I went to see the Winter Street Studios, one of Houston’s most striving art communities and home of 87 local artists, who open the doors of their studios once a month to the public. The building itself seemed like a maze where [...]
People sometimes ask me: How does it feel when I see my own artwork displayed in a gallery. I mostly do not know exactly what to say. Actually it is somehow surreal. Like this time at the opening of the Print Houston show at the Rudolph Blume/ ArtScan Gallery at Richmond Rd. in Houston. My [...]
It seemed that I emerged out of that dream state of mine just in time for the PRINT HOUSTON 2013 exhibit at the Rudolph Blume Fine Art/ ArtScan Gallery that features some of my photo-gravures as well as artwork by Magda Boltz-Wilson, Oliver Raszewski, Antje Rietsch, Silke Andrea Schmidt. The weekend before the opening of [...]
Sometimes it feels like we are diving in and out of the different layers that make up our life. Just during spring this year it was as if I was re-emerging into the more active part that is life. Not that nothing was going on before that. There was actually so much happening that it [...]
Courtesy of Suzie This weekend's “Paint, Create, Expand” art workshop surely had some fairy magic to it. After a meditation everyone went to play. This time I had left it up to my fellow artists to decide what they wanted to create and what materials they wanted to explore. Some chose the self-portrait [...]
