Pictures tell stories

Before I began to write books and to paint I’ve been working with children as a painting therapist for many years. Nature is the principle theme of my stories. I therefore add detailed depictions of nature to the vivid colors of my paintings. It animates children to recognize and observe plants and animals in their environment and raises awareness for our diverse and colorful world. With my paintings, I’d like to open new spaces and to encourage children to engage with their own fantasy and with all their inner images. Because fantasy is the key that we give to our children, so they can shape the present.
