…or better known as artsy.jumble. Originally, I'm from the beautiful south of Austria but for quite many years already I call Helsinki, Finland my chosen home. Contrary to most people who experienced the Finnish winter darkness I'm very much in love with it. Simply because it gives me a very good reason to stay inside, have a cup of tea/coffee/hot chocolate and paint.

Why animals and watercolor?

I have a deep love for animals and wildlife. They are magnificent, beautiful and mysterious. Every creature makes this world so much more beautiful and livable - they bring so much to the ecosystem but also us humans. I honestly believe with every species we lose to extinction we lose something incredibly valuable. I see it as my duty to raise awareness and speak for them because they deserve to live on this planet just as much as humans. I want to show the world that animals are not our enemies but a source of inspiration and beauty.

Watercolor is my preferred medium for a simple reason — water is relaxing to me and just like looking at the ocean, a river or a lake relaxes me it relaxes me to look at the pigments flowing in the water on my paper. It's simply beautiful and has led me to a loose and expressive style I really enjoy.
