2005 marked the year that I began to look for a new direction in my life after having spent the previous 25 years in employment and with family duties.

"Freie Akademie für Malerei", Dusseldorf

(Free Academy of Painting, Dusseldorf), which I successfully completed in December 2009 with the diplom.

 

2005/2006 Assistence in project

Alongside my studies of painting I have been concerning myself intensively with the medium of photography with emphasis on:

  • The examination of nature

  • Light effects

  • Spaces in buildings
