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. In the middle of the thriving suburb of Katy with all of its buildings and streets, there was a little green oasis called Green Planet Sanctuary. It had [...]
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 [...]
If someone would pass by and ask our fairy what was going on lately, she would have replied with an absentminded glare in her eyes and her typical fine, singing voice: “Not much.” Maybe it was the wintertime, or the cold, or the rainy days that were not really conductive for our fairy and her [...]
I have been so busy with everything that I haven’t had time to write a post – but maybe that’s just an excuse, because I am waiting for the big epiphanies to happen. But, guess what: it’s not very likely that anything like this will happen in a hassle and even when, I would be [...]
This Thanksgiving we went on a vacation to a place on the Pacific Ocean. I love being on the ocean. It is so invigorating to breathe in the salty air, to walk barefoot on the beach, to hear the gushing of waves splashing on the beach. I can always relax imemdiately, and hang onto my [...]
