About me
Discovering and capturing the world with a paintbrush, pencil, and colors is something that I love. In everyday life and when traveling it relaxes me and gives me energy. I like to be around people who are close to me but I am also looking forward to new exciting and inspiring encounters.
That’s how I found my way to person-oriented painting. During my guest stay in the Children’s Home in Guatemala I met an art therapist who inspired me with her passion. Furthermore I was allowed to organize a drawing workshop for boys and I noticed that being accompanied in the creative process had a calming effect on them. It was great to realize how much I can pass on thanks to my sensitivity, passion for art and love for the human being itself. From that moment on, it become clear to me that this is my path and my wonderful journey with art therapy began.
