I am a full-time artist living in Provence, at St. Paul lez Durance, since 2006.

I developed my abstract paintings and landscapes while I lived for 11 years in Bavaria. Colours, patterns and still life have been my themes during my 7 years in Provence. I am inspired by nature and man-made forms, and I am motivated by other artists such as J.M.W.Turner, the Impressionists, post-impressionists and fauvistes, the Blaue Reiter, Canada’s Group of Seven, British War Artists, English modern painters.

I like paintings that hint at a story or enigma. I paint what inspires me, and I find plenty of that in Provence, particularly figurative landscapes with more than a hint of impressionism.
