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.

SNAG Toronto part 4

I'll leave my Toronto report with a few notes about the conference lectures and presentations. I'd have to say that there certainly was a mosaic of diversity in the 3+ days at the Royal York Hotel.
