About me

I am a member-artist in the Essenheim Association of Arts, situated in the nice wine village by Mainz, where I also leave. From my background I hold a PhD. in economics and work at the Deutsche Bundesbank in Frankfurt am Main. I have foremost learned the art of Sumi-e (Japanese Ink Painting) in autodidactic (self-tought) way. Additionally, I deepen my knowledge and skills through taking private lessons and participation in workshops.
