"When I retired in 1993, I directed my hobby into making magnetic tiles by painting original miniature works of art onto 2-inch square ceramic tiles. Because I hand-paint each tile individually, no two magnets are exactly alike...just like snowflakes..."

"I was born and raised in North Dakota, but moved away to find better financial opportunities. But, like the old saying goes, 'The grass is greener over the fence', it isn't always true. I moved back to North Dakota in 1987 to live in the Turtle Mountains...."

"I retired from teaching in 1991 and went full time developing my pottery. The pottery bug bit me after watching a potter at a demonstration throw a large bowl. It was magic, the way the bowl grew from the lump of clay. I am mostly self-taught..."

I am an artist who specializes in painting with transparent watercolors in a soft and delicate style.

Growing up in the countryside of my native Germany, I developed a fondness for the beauty of nature that is expressed in my paintings. With great sensitivity to moods and light, I created realistic renditions of my subjects. I use watercolors in their true transparent nature, creating highlights by letting the white of the paper shine through.

Before moving to the United Sates, I studied art at the Kunstschule in Hamburg, Germany, then painted in Chicago, Illinois, under the guidance of George Mally (A.W.S.). Moving to Northern Virginia, I continued my art education and then painted independently to develop my own strongly individual style.
