This is the first time I will be participating in the well-established Kunst Loose Tage.

I am both very honoured to have been admitted by the selection committee and very grateful to my friend, painter and sculptor Bernd Finkenwirth, who invited me to come along. He will be hosting both me and the young designer Cora Jarchow next to his own studio at Fort Gorgast. The three of us will be there, happy to greet you and to answer any questions you may have. 

See you soon!

When you go to the National Gallery, you cannot miss Whistlejacket. The life-size portrait of a racehorse owned by the Marquess of Rockingham is a daring painting by George Stubbs.

My first exhibition in a magical setting

The fabulous gallery spaces at Fort Gorgast were the setting for my first exhibition. Michael Gauss’ photos capture the magical spirit of the building that is part of Forte Cultura. Many thanks to him, and to all those who joined us for an unforgettable party!
