 I find it fascinating that I paint my paintings from following the happenings around me. In wintertime I tend to think more about the things I read in the News papers or about pictures I always wanted to paint and never did get around to do it – but now – at this time . . . → Read More: The Nature Effect

 It is my believe that one has to make art for arts sake first and foremost in order to be and stay unique and original.
Only the way we do bring it to the public has changed, like anything else in the time of social media.

Meet the Painter  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!
