Lola keep the fire burning! Painting

Live is beautiful and full of colors....that is my Life philosophy. I try to see the beauty in everything. I hope you enjoy my paintings and if they just put a smile on your face - I am happy! I am pretty much self taught and started painting in the late 90ies. Due to lack of spare time as I my job occopied me extremely, I couldn't spend much time on painting. I am originally from Augsburg/Germany. After living and working 5 years in Amersfoort/Netherlands my husband and I moved 2010 to the USA . Since then I have much more time to paint and work on my skills. I am very grateful for this opportunity and hope that my paintings will find there place in the world of art and bring pleasure and joy to its viewers. I love happy, strong, impressive and vibrant colors, which reflect me and how I see and feel the world. My choice of color is often inspired by various influences, such as my mood at the time of painting, as well as the weather, the seasons, or travel. Beside painting I design also mystical crystal & mineral pendants they are very unique and you can find them on my website. As an artist, I believe the process of creating is an endless journey. I mainly work with high quality acrylic colors (Talens-Amsterdam) on canvas. My source of inspiration is life itself with all its colors, the world or how I want to see the world, my husband, my super cheeky cute little Jack Russell Terriers "Elvis & Chili" - which make me smile every day , nature, but also for instance "Nici de Saint Phalle" and tribal arts ...in progress
