In the past it was an agressive figurative expressionism while now the surreal composition of figurative elements is the predominat expression of my oil paintings.
There have been idyllic watercolours of landscapes and architectural features or movement studies of dancers.
There have been reviews in local papers and in the feminist art magazine 'Eva & co' in Graz/Austria.
Travel, history, philosophy, esoteric symblism, films and filming as well dance shows are my big interrests.
Out of my artistic solitude I came to organise art actions with school children in Austria as well a group painting with psychiatric Patients in Vienna/Austria. A month in a community of 'aduts with learning difficulties' in South Devon has been also a fulfilling experience. A wall painting on volountary basis in a hospital of R.A.F. was a marvelous experience and the patients were so enthusiastic ...
Garden design, Kindergarten design for Steiner schools counts also among my volountary work. A garden for the Chapel of the Unitarian Church in Hampstead/London was also a sweet pleasure.
I can not live without going on painting.
