 Welcome to my blog. This is written for you my readers and you who collect my paintings. Because you are interested in my work you naturally want to know more about the creator - me - and that is why I started to write a bit about myself and the person behind the art work. I have my studio in Abbotsford B.C. Canada but grew up on the small Island of Sylt in the German Noth Sea, the beginning of my fascination with water and the sky. Please, feel free to email if you have any questions or comments!
