I’m a German born Wildlife and Bird Artists, residing in Costa Rica, with my husband and our four dogs. Our home in Central America is a true paradise of biodiversity, with endless inspiration for my art.

The connection to the natural world and the love for art has always been my essence in life. As an artist, I find inspiration outdoors by observing the animals in their habitat, and by gathering reference material with my camera and sketchbook.

Majoring with a master’s degree in biology I have lived at the North Sea Island Heligoland during my study time. Watching the local sea bird colony at the “Red Rock” was a key-experience and important force in my artistic career. I began focusing on bird paintings and won the prestigious German award for bird painters “Silver Owl” in 2013.

My works are shown in national and international exhibitions; Modern Bird Paintings (Germany), Birds in Art (USA), Artists for Conservation (CA), Society of Animal Artists (USA). And I have been recognized in international publications with my illustrations, like the New European Breeding Bird Atlas, published in 2020.
