Finally, the Opening!
The opening of the Klarwein exhibition attracted a crowd of almost 300 visitors: not only friends and companions of the project, but also many new faces of all ages and from different walks of life.
Klarwein in the Media
The Klarwein exhibition has been featured in various national and international media outlets and is also present on Instagram and YouTube.

Inside the studio
Here’s some pictures from both my studio in the countryside and from atelier training at the Art Academy in Stroud (Gloucestershire).
Another year, another exhibition
In May 2024, I again had the immense pleasure of participating in the open ateliers weekend at Fort Gorgast.
