I’m a contemporary figurative oil painter from Bavaria, Germany living in the mountains of Prescott, Arizona. Large, colorful hummingbirds in motion are my signature series. I like to capture the character and spirit of my models by combining detailed realism with bold brushstrokes. The interplay of focus and movement has been my pursuit when portraying birds, mustangs and other wildlife. Combined with botanical beauty, I aim to create uplifting paintings full of life and energy.
