About me
It all began many years ago when, as a young woman fresh from the mountain part of Switzerland, I moved to Zurich. For my new apartment, I wanted “real” paintings, not posters. But with my limited budget at the time, I couldn’t find anything suitable. So, I decided to create my own. Thanks to my mother, who passed on her artistic talent to me, I enrolled in various painting courses to build a solid foundation.
At first, I was fascinated by abstract art, but later I discovered my passion for Pop Art, Mixed Media, Photo-Art and Collage-Work. Over the years, I taught myself these styles and continued to refine my skills. To my delight, the demand for my work steadily grew. In 2004, I took a leap of faith, leaving my job in HR at a private bank to pursue my dream as a full-time Pop Art and Collage-Artist.
In July 2004, I opened my very own gallery, “Mauerblümchen,” at Froschaugasse 8 in Zurich’s charming Niederdorf district. In the beautiful shop of a listed old town house, I sold my paintings along with accessories and Murano glass lamps. Those ten years were wonderful and successful.
But another dream began to take shape inside me: the dream of living on a tranquil farm in the countryside, with an atelier where I could focus solely on creating art.
In June 2015, that dream became a reality. We moved to the enchanting Emmental, to a small and picturesque farm with two hectares of land. Of course, our beloved Labrador, Bella, is part of the family. We love our life here in the Emmental. When the crickets sing in our meadows in spring, I feel like I’m in heaven and can hardly believe how lucky I am to live and work in such a beautiful place.
