Born 1961 in Rosenheim. I live and work in the south of Germany, in Bavaria.
It's the bavarian homeland with it's wonderful landscape, with mountains and lakes which brought me very early to landscape painting. In the beginning of the 80's I started the first trial paintings with oil colors. Later I took lessons at different local artists. There I got to know and to love watercolor. From this time I focused myself on painting with watercolors and hundreds of paintings came into existence in this time. The painting is always spontaneous, free up to abstract.

But the landscape painting can never completely rid of me. At the beginning of the new century I addict myself again more and more the representational painting. In the internet I got to know the workings of many excellent artists, mostly from America, Australia, but also from european countries.
Perhaps the reason why I commited myself again to this art form is, that the national representational landscape painting in the local art scene is considered with a pitying smile,

To try something new, I bought in 2008, the first pastel colors.
The silky, but above all the brilliance of the colors fascinated me from the beginning.
By own experiments but also by studying through various Internet addresses such as
Pastel Journal blog, I learned the basics of pastel painting. I created the first pastels on normal drawing paper, but the results were not very satisfactory. Only with the right chalk the first satisfying results developed. I'll take hard chalk for priming, a little softer for the 2nd painting and the softest, for example the Sennelier chalk, for the final painting. Last but not least the correct paper, with Canson pastel paper I made very good experiences, is crucial for a good piece of art.
Of course I'm still far away from a perfect pastel.
