I was born in a small village in East Germany and immigrated to Canada at age seven with my mother and grandmother. Being an only child and not speaking English, drawing was my retreat. Later on drawing and painting became an ardent passion.

Financially unable to pursue art as a career and my mother terminally ill, I trained as a registered nurse at the University of Saskatchewan, marriage followed. My husband and I raised two beautiful daughters. As time permitted I began to take art workshops and classes, earning my associate status with the Federation of Canadian Artists. (AFCA) March 2009.

My desire to create continues to intensify and since the year 2000 I have been painting full time realizing a life long dream. With the creative urge God has given me, I am constantly motivated and challenged as I explore new ideas and methods for making marks on canvas. Breaking into abstract images has given me great liberty in expressing myself and expanding my boundaries. It is very gratifying to have my works in numerous collections in Canada and Abroad.
