Profile Information

Where do you live ? City, State and Country
Berlin, Germany
Place of Work ? Example: Studio, College, Gallery, Museum, ...)
home studio
I am a .... Example: Student, Maker, Educator, etc.
as a designer I am almost always working on a product base, using precious and nonprecious metals, polymer clay, mixed media, paper, papermaché and found objects or recycling materials.

labeled "GRELLPASTELL - fine design -" I make artistic jewelry and innovative decorations.

my jewelry and paper maché objects are characterized by a time consuming work process. different to industrial products they have their very own charm, every piece is made by hand and one of a kind.

my credo "trash to treasure" together with the japanese philosophy of "wabi sabi" means to show the beauty of imperfection, the magic of the mundane.

in addition to my design work, I like painting and drawing, I am attracted to photography and digital art and make graphic- and webdesign.

I feel passion for what I do, being creative is my whole existence. for my work it is substantial to be faithful to myself and my ideas and to find individual forms to express myself.

Showing Publicly and Building a Legacy Privately

- by Rebecca Rose. 2013, SNAG/crafthaus Scholarship Recipient

For the next 13 months we'll discuss the trials, triumphs, and tribulations of exhibiting  in art shows as emerging artists and established artists. Exhibition coverage will be balanced with tips on how to strategically build a legacy over a length of time, in a way that makes sense to your individual goals as an artist and maker. 

Join us each month! There will be surprises around every corner, with photos, videos, SNAG conference coverage, and occasional interviews by rising artists!

FOLLOW ALONG...leave your comments and questions.
