From the subconscious things occur, which she cannot predetermine. The artist does not convert these inner pictures to specific things. With a special feeling for rhythm and through subtile colour sounds she tells about free, associative picture stories. The works exude tranquillity, clarity and sensuality. The visible aesthetic sensitivity has a suggestive power, which captivates the observer. If you get involved in these pictures – in the coloured moods, the symbolic, fragile lines, symbols – they appear to be the beginning of a story, which the observer can continue in his imagination. At the trans-lation into the terms of language, however, something mysterious remains, which cannot be translated. The painter apparently leaves the processes for the creation of the painting: colour layers overlay each other, lines are covered and released again, used papers are stuck onto the work. The artist describes her way of painting like this: » violations at places of change are connected, sewed, covered in a varnishing way, shine through like under a wax layer or can still haptically be realised. Special importance is attached to the picture passages, which appear to be particularly successful, they support their environment – are significant for fringe areas, however, can also lose their function again during the working process and have to be given up – sometimes this is quite painful like the loss of a good friend.« She discovers special beauty in apparently everyday things. This can be a crumbling wall, moss between concrete slabs, traces of transience.
