Why I love what I do

The mysticism of nature, shaped from clay. My artistic journey began about 30 years ago in England – a time that profoundly shaped me. The landscapes, the ancient stone circles, and the Celtic symbolism of England still resonate in my sculptures today. Back then, I ran a small shop in Glastonbury, where I sold my work and met people who connected my art with their spiritual path. Many of my materials – such as wood, tree beads, and feathers – I find on long walks in the woods with my dogs. Often, they appear right before my eyes and call to me, as if they want to become part of a new creation. These treasures of nature lend my work a unique authenticity and tell their own stories. My sculptures reflect themes that are very close to my heart: Mother Earth, Venus, and many other symbols of fertility, vitality, and the diversity of life. Through primitive art forms and symbolic motifs, I try to express the deep connection and harmony between us and nature. A defining experience has forever linked my life and my art: While sculpting small fertility goddesses, I took one from the fire that happened to have the shape of an embryo on its belly. Shortly afterward, I learned I was pregnant. Since then, my sculptures have been an inseparable part of my existence—an expression of the profound dialogue between nature, myth, and inner experience. My work springs from a reverence for the forces of the earth. Each figure speaks of transformation, origin, and the invisible threads that connect the human with the mythical—inspired by Celtic, Norse, and Neolithic traditions.
