I was born 1956 in Bern, Switzerland and live today in Oberwil near Basel. The first book I particularly loved as a child was „One Thousand and One Nights“, illustrated by Edmond Dulac (1882 – 1953). Dulacs marvelous paintings fascinated me with its atmosphere and beauty till today. As an adult I found that these paintings were carried out with a sophisticated watercolor technique.
I discovered my own passion for making drawings, paintings and designings at school. Namely in biology classes, while dissecting plant and wurms, observing their cells under the microscope and documenting the intriguing descoveries.
Before 20 I experimented with all kind of drawing and painting media. But always returned to watercolor as the preferred medium.
