Hi, I am an artist – drawing, painting and printmaking – looking to create worlds that enchant. I’ve been told repeatedly I should be illustrating children’s books, so I’m now applying here! I strongly believe that there’s a place for the hand drawn, the human touch – because only the known can relate. Kids can see quickly if there’s human magic in an illustration, or if it is a cooler computer aesthetic. In an age where we're no longer sure if its drawn by ai, I feel the human drawn line can weave new, better stories. At the start of this year, 2025, I felt a strong urge not just to paint nature and elevate it into art, but to go further — to draw the viewer into the magical world we inhabit, yet so carelessly destroy. I wanted to create something gentle, beautiful, and affirmative as a counterpoint to the constant stream of negative imagery we face. For this, I enlisted the help of fairies and my imagination - with a little bit of inspiration too. I have been self-employed for many years; I regularly draw a political cartoon for a regional newspaper and design posters for local am dram groups. In 2024, I completed the online Drawing Development Year at the Royal Drawing School in London, further honing my skills and vision. In 2025, I was awarded a scholarship to attend the International Summer Academy in Salzburg, Austria. I have drawn live on the BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, participated in numerous group exhibitions in Europe, and held solo exhibitions in Vienna, Austria and Basel, Switzerland. I am also a member of the Swiss Society of Women Artists (SGBK). I am a bilingual (German and English) Swiss/British national, as Charlie Chaplin said, "I am a citizen of the world". I have 2 grown up children, am highly motivated and extremely creative. I have exhibited work in Switzerland, Wales, Austria and in group exhibitions around the world. I have painted murals in Switzerland, Germany and Kenya. I have received public commissions, eg for Schönbrunn Palace in Austria.…Hi, I am an artist – drawing, painting and printmaking – looking to create worlds that enchant.
