...then even wrote a doctoral thesis for a few years, but then broke it off to move from Berlin to the Rhine, where I built an holiday home on my own and wanted to withdraw to continue painting in oils.
I had also completed education as a trainer for time- and selfmanagement and coaching, worked as a moderator or organizational consultant, and was politically active in advocating for an unconditional basic income.

 

But a traumatic life also resulted in me suffering from depression for over 30 years, and I wonder how I ever managed this all. There were many periods when I was only awake for four hours a day because I needed to sleep due to medication and constant exhaustion.
 

It's only been about a year since I've been able to say that I'm happy, which is also due to the fact that I'm finally expressing my creativity. It means a lot to me to have a spiritual connection to my roots, as both my biological father and my brother, who passed away early (we were raised by adoptive parents), were talented artists.

 

 

I wish I could bring beauty and joy into the world and inspire people to do what they truly love!
