Kunst entdecken. Kreativität erleben.

A little rummage through the archives… back to my furniture painting days and a beading obsession that started long before that. I used to make jewelry and accessories using teeny weeny beads. Back when I could still see the holes! Hope your day is full of good times and good treats.

A little love from my angels before Pink October ends. For everyone touched by breast cancer, I’m thinking of you 🤍🎀

A perfectly good shirt sacrificed in the name of art. And champagne. Several people wanted my original “Ring for Champagne” painting, so I’m creating a small collection of new versions, each will be a little different. If you fancy a little champagne on your wall, sign up for my newsletter through the link in my bio. I’ll let you know when the collection is ready to release.

You may recognise my river friends, who often inspire my work. I’ve decided this one’s Grace. ( well maybe not today) For my September challenge, I made 30 paintings, each inspired by three prompts 30 people gave me. This one was FAMILY, RAINBOW and ORANGE. The swans outside my atelier window often inspire my paintings, but the rainbow brought another river to mind. I loved walking beside the Swan River when I lived in Perth( Western Australia). In aboriginal mythology it’s told the river was created by the Rainbow Serpent. A little connection between my life in Australia and the view outside my window here in Switzerland. Stay for the flourish at the end. Someone’s determined to remain the centre of attention.

A little holiday unwinding, with new pencils and a quick sketch on the beach. I don’t use pencils much these days, although they were my favourites as a child. I bought this gorgeous Caran d’Ache set with different coloured ends which are water-soluble pencils. I couldn’t wait to have a play. Not affiliated with Caran d’Ache. Just easily seduced by a gorgeous set of pencils.

All 30 revealed. Tomorrow they’ll all be hanging together for the apéro from 5 till 8 pm. And over the next few days I’ll start sharing the stories behind each one, because some of those prompt interpretations need an explanation! Thanks for following the madness

A BIT BOTANICAL, A BIT BONKERS These beauties wandered into flowers, trees, crockery and one very confusing word. Sunflower · Yellow · Travel AVAILABLE Flower · Magenta · Opinionated RESERVED Tree · Green · Happiness RESERVED Sunflower · Yellow · Peace AVAILABLE Wonky Teacup · Deep Magenta · One AVAILABLE Teapot · Pearlescent Blue · Discombobulated AVAILABLE And yes, I had to look up what discombobulated actually meant. Do you think they were talking about me? 😆 Original mixed-media paintings, 30 × 30 cm CHF 250 each Four are still available. One more group to go before Thursday’s apéro.

Two more groups to go before Thursday’s apéro!

NEXT UP: THE QUIRKY ONES. This is where things got a little more interesting. Some rather unexpected prompt combinations. Six more paintings, eighteen more prompts, and a couple of the stranger combinations I had to interpret during the challenge. I can’t wait to share the back stories. 1. Eclectic, Earring, Ultramarine Blue - AVAILABLE 2. Steadfast, Champagne glass, Pink - RESERVED 3. Apothecary, Teal, Vintage - AVAILABLE 4. Waterfall, Jungle, Olive - AVAILABLE 5. Neuro spicy, Purple, Paintbrush - RESERVED 6. Fountain Pen, Chartreuse, Serendipity - AVAILABLE Each one is an original mixed - media painting, 30 × 30 cm - CHF 250. If one catches your eye, send me a message. More tomorrow…

I let other people decide what I’d paint. This is what happens. The prompts? Monkey, funny and gold. 🐒✨ I asked people for an object, a word and a colour, then turned 30 different combinations into 30 paintings in September. Not much time to overthink it. Definitely no time to stuff around.

LET’S START WITH THE WILD THINGS.➡️ ( well not quite all ) Six paintings. Eighteen prompts. And definitely not six ideas I would have come up with on my own. 1. Wild, Red, Torch - RESERVED 2. Hot Pink, Lioness, Ridiculous - AVAILABLE 3. Monkey, Funny, Gold - AVAILABLE 4. Brave, Lion, Purple - AVAILABLE 5. Adorable, Bunny, Apple Green - AVAILABLE 6. Green, Elephant, Brave -RESERVED Each one is an original mixed-media painting, 30 × 30 cm - CHF 250. I’ll be revealing all 30 in little groups over the next few days and the stories behind them in the following week. Got your eye on a wild one? Message me for details or to reserve your favourite. 🐾

Well, nobody said it had to be a canvas… So… there was one little twist to my 30 paintings in 30 days challenge. I had 31 prompts. Rather than leave one out, I decided to put a spin on the last one. The prompt was apron, pink + ocean. So instead of painting an apron… I painted THE apron. Complete with a little fabric collage of fish. 31 prompts officially done. Now I really am finished.

30 paintings. 30 prompts. 30 days. I did it. 30 different prompts from 30 different people, and somehow I managed to turn every single one into a painting. I’m exhausted, my studio looks like a small explosion has taken place, but I’m pretty damn proud of myself. Thank you to everyone who threw a prompt into the mix. Some made me laugh, some made me think, and a few had me wondering what on earth I’d gotten myself into. 🤣 But here they are. All 30! I’ll be sharing more of the finished paintings and their prompts over the next few days. For tonight though… I’m DONE 🥂

Two days left of my September challenge and I think my brain has finished before I have. There’s stuff everywhere, empty coffee cups. Multitudes of colourful canvases lining up. Im running almost entirely on determination at this point. So tonight… no fancy reel. Just proof that I’m still here and still painting. Two days to go. I can do this. Then I may sleep for a week.

Turns out 30 paintings sounded much easier in August. But I’m getting there. This one: peace, flower + blue. My favorite part is the folded paper crane and the flowers and the background 🤷‍♀️🤣 If these were your prompts, give me a shout - you get first dibs on the painting.Back to it. September is not waiting for me. #paintingchallenge

So what happens when you give me Flamingo • Coral • Sweet? Here’s my take on them… complete with a little hidden recipe for White Fruit Cake that serves two. Aww that so sweet!! If these were your prompts, you get first dibs before it’s released to everyone else. Right, back to the easel. Time’s ticking!

I’ve been a little quiet with the challenge updates, but definitely not with the paintbrush. Nearly 16 paintings are now finished, a bit over half way . Jeez still a lot to do ! I’m a bit behind on showing you what I’ve been up to, so there’s a small avalanche of reveals coming. This one? Monkey + funny + gold. I think he understood the assignment.

About time these made it onto the wall! 10 of my September challenge paintings are now hanging together and I LOVE seeing them like this. Plus it gives me some much needed space for the next batch. Considering every painting started with three completely random prompts, they’re turning into a rather fabulous little collection. Are they all perfectly level? Let’s not ruin the moment with unnecessary questions.

Whew… 7 finished! It’s Day 11, so technically I’m a little behind, but I can live with that. If you’re new here, each painting starts with three random prompts that were sent in by you and I have to somehow turn them into one piece of art. Here’s a quick flick through the finished ones so far, with their prompts. Some I love, some surprised me, and a couple definitely made me work for it. I’ll show you each one properly over the next few days, but for now, seven down!

Day 8 and this is where we’re at. Four are finished (I think ), four more are getting very close and what day is it ..?? I’m slightly behind where I thought I’d be. The plan was to keep them simpler but your prompts inspired all these details. Hopefully another four finished tomorrow 🤞 Any favourites starting to emerge?

Well, that’s a wrap on Swiss Art Expo 2026 A big thank you to everyone who popped by, said hello, sent me a message or followed along from afar. Five of my paintings got a little trip to Zürich, I got to see a LOT of art, meet some interesting people… and now they’re all coming home with me again 😂 All part of the adventure, I reckon. Back to the atelier and the rather chaotic collection currently taking over my tables.

It’s been a week… and now THIS. I had strategically painted over star stickers and I was excited to see the results. A simple task - a) Peel them off b) Reveal perfect little stars. Easy. Except apparently I’d glued them on for eternity. I perhaps covered them with too many layers of paint or they were too sticky to start with. Obviously did not test them in advance. And yes… I did eventually get the bloody things off.

Some are behaving better than others… A few of these paintings are finally starting to reveal themselves although I’m definitely not convinced by a couple of the backgrounds yet. That’s tomorrow’s problem. Today I bounced between a couple of different canvases. ( mig the ones that really needed attention). Played with my Caran d’Ache crayons - highly recommend. And I think you might actually be able to work out some of the prompts now… Neurospicy • purple • paintbrush Puffin • pink • peace Sunflower • yellow • travel Three very different combinations, which is exactly what’s making this challenge interesting. Still plenty of layers, changes of mind and probably a few cover-ups to come…

Well, this seemed like a good idea three days ago… I definitely had my thinking cap on today. A blocked spray can didn’t help 🙄 but the bigger challenge is starting to show itself. I’ve got all these completely different prompts, ideas and pieces happening at once, and Im@paintk’g them together . Not as easy as it sounded when I came up with this challenge . But things are starting to take shape… and I’m rather curious myself to see where they end up.

It’s getting messier… which is usually a good sign. A bit of neon pink paint, some dried leaves, spray paint, ink everywhere… and apparently I really do have green fingers after all. I’m still working across several canvases at once, adding layers and trying different things and seeing where they take me, which is such a fun way to work. And yes, my filming skills may need a little work. The painting part I’ve got covered. . The challenge continues…

Day 2 of my September art challenge took a slight detour… No paintbrush in my hand today, I was in Zurich hanging five of my paintings for @swissartexpo .If your in the Zurich Bahnhof in the next few days pop by and check out all the incredible art . Thanks to my friend Christa for helping me get things level. 😝 The challenge canvases are all sitting back in the atelier waiting for me, but this is also part of life as an artist, sometimes the making has to make way for getting the work out into the world. And tomorrow… back to the mess. 😜. I’ll reveal some of the prompts I’m working with then too. My phone created its own disco lighting ??? I’m too tired to care 😂🤩🩷.

Day 1… and there are already 8 canvases on the go. If you’re new here - last month I asked you to give me a colour, a word and an object. I ended up with 31 completely different combinations, and I’ve challenged myself to turn every one of them into a painting during September. You might have thought I was going to paint one picture from start to finish each day…. nope ! I tend to work on several at once, especially with mixed media. There’s always something drying, or another idea I want to get started on. So today was mostly planning. Sketching and getting those first layers down. Not a lot to see just yet… but plenty happening. Tomorrow I’ll show you which prompts I’ve started with. On@with the show

I may have bitten off more than I can chew… September is almost here and I’m getting ready for my painting challenge. For my birthday giveaway, I asked you to send me three prompts: a colour, a word and an object. I loved the combinations so much that instead of using just the winning one, I decided to paint them ALL. So throughout September, I’ll be turning your weird & wonderful and combinations into small original paintings. The canvases have arrived. I’m attempting to get vaguely organised before the madness begins. Some prompts clicked instantly. Others have had me staring into space wondering what on earth I was thinking when I decided this was a good idea. It starts September 1st. Let’s see what happens…

A painting about balance nearly tipped me over the edge. Equilibrium is about the space between extremes, where energy flows freely and life finds its rhythm. In a world of constant highs and lows, true peace doesn’t come from resisting either side, but from embracing the balance that holds them together. At the centre is a circle divided into equal segments. I needed to divide it precisely and, being absolutely hopeless at maths, couldn’t work out the formula. So out came the tape measure, and I worked my way around the whole thing manually. It took a while. Not the most efficient method, but we got there. My slightly crazy process became part of the story too. Equilibrium is at @flowartspacebasel in Basel this weekend.

I knew I was forgetful, but this is ridiculous… I painted Sovereign of the Sea over a year ago and somehow completely forgot to share the finished painting here. This one was inspired by my brother. Growing up in Australia, our holidays were always spent at the beach. We spent hours in and on the ocean. He’s always loved the sea and fish , with his wild beard, there’s definitely a bit of Poseidon about him too. So naturally, I turned him into the god of the sea. 🤣 And now Sovereign of the Sea is finally getting his moment. Next week he’s heading to Zurich as one of five of my paintings showing at @swissartexpo . Probably about time I introduced him!

She’s hanging. The doors open Thursday! So excited to have Wurzel & Wings showing at Flow Art Space in Basel as part of the Summer Exhibition. I can’t wait to see all the gorgeous art and meet all the incredible artist’s. See you all soon. Opening Thursday 20.08.26 @flowartspacebasel

You gave me all those brilliant prompts… so it seems a shame to waste them! So, starting in September, I’m going to work my way through all of them and see what happens. I have no idea exactly where this is going yet, but that’s kind of the point. Different prompts, different artworks and I’m sure a surprises along the way. And yes, the finished pieces will be for sale …..but first I have to make them! If you sent me a prompt, keep an eye out. It’s going to be fun.

Well, here she is! Red. Boots. Rucksack. Three prompts that took me somewhere I wasn’t quite expecting… I found that recipe in an old book. Juanita. Almost exactly the name of the lovely lady whose prompts I chose. Coincidence? Probably. Serendipity? I’m going with that. 😂 And here’s what those three little prompts became…

The ugly stage! It’s a real thing, and very much part of my creative process. Sometimes it lasts a few hours. Sometimes I turn up at the studio the next morning, look at what I’ve done and think… Mmmmm. Not sure I like this. But I ignore (well, kind of) that little voice and carry on. This is a process shot from the painting inspired by the prompts I chose from my birthday giveaway and I’ve actually finished it now. I can’t wait to show you how it turned out!

And we have a winner! Honestly, choosing just one was ridiculously difficult. Your colours, words and objects gave me SO many brilliant combinations — some surprising, some funny, some meaningful, and so many I’d love to paint. Congratulations Junita Prentice ! Now I just have to turn those three little prompts into an original artwork… no pressure. And as for all those other fabulous prompts? Let’s just say I’m not quite finished with them yet. Stay tuned…

It’s my birthday, and I’ve had a slightly crazy idea …… I’d love one of you to inspire my next original artwork. Instead of choosing the subject myself, I’m handing that part over to you. Describe yourself using just three things: 🎨 One colour
✨ One word
📦 One object They might say something about who you are, remind you of a favourite place, or simply be things you love. I’ll choose one set of prompts to inspire a brand new original artwork on paper, and I’ll send it anywhere in the world. To enter:
• Follow @kimwhite.art 
• Leave your colour, word and object in the comments.
• If you feel like it, tell me why you chose them. I love a good story. Entries close at midnight (Swiss time) on 9 August. I can’t wait to see what you come up with. Who knows... your three little prompts might become my next painting.

A few mishaps. Plenty of swagger. No denying the wild horse. This original painting is currently available - disco ball not included, although it has certainly played its part. Link in Bio. Thank you @petra_trap_bar 🩷🥂

Sometimes you have to stop and smell the flowers… even if they’re painted. This bouquet has now found its forever home, once I have lacquered and framed it ! I love knowing it will be part of someone’s everyday life.

One of the perks of living here? Inspiration is literally on my doorstep. Eternal Flow is woven together from little pieces of my daily view. The flowing water inspired by the Aare, the two swans are regulars I see almost every day, and if you look closely, you’ll even spot an abstract nod to the Aarburg across the river. I love taking familiar places and letting them become something a little unexpected on the canvas. P.S. If you hear breathing in the background… don’t worry, it wasn’t me! 😄 Someone was swimming across the Aare and accidentally became part of the soundtrack. Can you spot the local inspirations? @theaarburg

“I swear he jumped… I didn’t push him. 😇”

Most paintings begin long before the first brushstroke. They begin when unrelated moments start a conversation.. I was just trying to enjoy the view… much for switching off.

I’ve realised that changing the surface changed my mindset. Lately I’ve been painting on paper. I thought I was just experimenting with a different background. What I didn’t expect was how much freedom it would give me. I’m not sure whether this is a new direction or simply a detour, but I’m enjoying seeing where curiosity takes me. This piece fought me a little (the background had plenty of previous lives!), but I’m learning that those twists are often where the interesting things happen. Do you ever surprise yourself when you let go of the plan?

Yay! We can finally share photos on each other’s timelines! So I thought this would be the perfect excuse to start something new… ✨ The Art of Noticing Finding beauty in unexpected places. I’m forever discovering quirky, beautiful and unexpected things that make me smile. This gentleman was today’s favorite! Each week I’ll share something that caught my eye, and I’d love you to do the same. It could be dramatic clouds, a funny sign, an old door, an interesting pattern, a feather… anything that made you stop for a moment. Just tap ‘Add to timeline’ and share your discovery. Let’s see the world through each other’s eyes. You never know where inspiration is hiding.

I was just about to hammer these two into their recycled frame…. After a lovely week away with friends (and a much-needed mind break), now I’m back in the studio. I was silently cursing at the fiddly little nails for a frame I had painted for these little cuties… who, by the way, still don’t have names! Then it dawned on me… they’re on paper, which means they’re actually easy to post. If they have already stolen your heart, send me a DM for the details before they get nailed down.

When you spend so much time with your paintings, eventually you start dressing alike. Totally unplanned… but here we are. Spotted at @artboxyofficial Basel with Alpine Goatee.

This paper has been months in the making. Whenever I had paint left on my palette, it ended up here. Layer upon layer, the surface slowly built its own patterns. Feeling some resistance in the studio, I decided to play rather than push. Two birds emerged from the chaos. Maybe they’re the start of something new? What emerges when you give yourself permission to play?

What a fun evening at the vernissage yesterday. It was wonderful to meet so many interesting people and spend time surrounded by art and good conversation. If you find yourself in Basel, I’d love for you to stop by and see the exhibition. @flowartspacebasel #baselart

From the banks of the Aare to the Rhine. This one is going with the flow! @flowartspacebasel

Taking one of my paintings on a little Basel adventure. Oh and destination found !! Also, can we take a moment to appreciate my re-designed IKEA painting carrier bag .

I was excited to paint horses as we stepped into the Year of the Horse and a new phase. Full of optimism, I began this painting convinced that good things were on the horizon. What followed was a period that tested many of us. Plans shifted, uncertainty crept in, and the road ahead felt far less predictable than expected. At times I felt knee-deep in manure, drained of creative energy and wondering what had happened to all those good things that were supposed to be just around the corner. Somewhere along the way this painting took on a new meaning. We don’t have the luxury of looking into a crystal ball to see what the future holds. We can make plans, dream big and set our course, but some things remain beyond our knowing. What carries us through are the people around us. The ones who remind us who we are, help us find our footing again, and encourage us to keep moving forward when the path isn’t clear. The future may be unknown, but the road is rarely travelled alone. Beyond the Known

Remember yesterday when I was pretending to paint? Turns out I wasn’t completely making things up after all. Meet the newest one.

People: artists spend their days looking mysterious and effortlessly creating masterpieces. Meanwhile me… Artistic process? Absolutely. Necessary? Debatable.

Studio update: my brain has officially clocked out for the week, so instead of paint splatters, here’s a little Swiss Alps elegance gliding by .

TONIGHT my new pieces for the @squarefootshow Awaken officially go LIVE For the next 24 hours only, my newest original paintings will be available - a playful, layered little collection of nesting dolls, butterflies, wild hearts and becoming. I’m so excited to be part of this special show alongside 26 talented artists from around the world, curated by Dionne Woods @theturquoiseiris . Every artwork is an original 12” × 12” piece and once the show closes… that’s it. The doors open at 6PM MST / 2AM Swiss time 🇨🇭 (I will try to stay up ) So come join the fun tonight. #squarefootshow

Alright… here’s the full lineup 5 original pieces heading to the @squarefootshow Small canvas with big personalities. A little bit wild, a little bit cheeky, layered with colour, texture and the kinds of details you notice properly on the second look. My interpretation of awakening. A mix of nesting dolls, butterflies, layered stories and little reminders that we’re allowed to evolve into fuller versions of ourselves. The show launches on May 14 So… which one’s calling your name first? #squarefootshow #mixedmediapainting

Not everyone was made to blend quietly into the background. True Nature is my fourth piece created for the Square Foot Show and explores the instinctive, curious, slightly rebellious parts of ourselves that refuse to fit neatly into the expected mould. A little wild. A little unapologetic. Probably wearing animal print… while sipping an Aperol and yelling “woohoo” at questionable life decisions. For the beautifully untamed souls who were never really meant to colour inside the lines anyway. #squarefootshow #wildsoul #untamedheart

Underestimated Living between cultures is a mix of funny moments, misunderstandings, and people occasionally underestimating you because of an accent or crossed wires. But honestly? It thickened my skin, sharpened my humour, and made me more accepting of myself. The more I sat with that feeling the more it connected to this piece and the theme Awaken. What we first assume about people, places or even ourselves is rarely the whole story. Created for the upcoming @squarefootshow , where artists from around the world release original 30 x 30 cm artworks online for just 24 hours on May 15. Collectors can subscribe for the 48-hour preview before the show opens… and the early birds usually spot the treasures first. #squarefootshow #mixedmediaart #originalart #contemporaryart #artcollector

You’ll want to look closer. Tiny details. Collected moments. A world within the layers. Underestimated- Coming soon to the Square Foot Show. @squarefootshow #squarefootshow #bigimpact #artforyourhome

She nearly didn’t make it into this show. I’ve been quietly ( well …. Maybe not quietly) working away on a series of small paintings, and I’m finally ready to share where they’re heading. I’ve been selected as one of the featured artists in the May edition of the @squarefootshow curated by @jveenstraartist, with Dionne Woods @theturquoiseiris headlining this month’s theme, Awaken. It’s a fast-paced, 24-hour online show bringing together 30+ artists = small works, big energy, and often snapped up the moment it goes live. The show goes live Thursday, May 14 (for 24 hours only) There’s also a 48-hour preview before it opens - if you want early access, all you need to do is subscribe. I can’t wait to share these new artworks with you. 👉 Swipe for more info about the show. #squarefootshow #artcollector #onlineartgallery

Took a little detour from canvas. Painted this mannequin for a feature in @theturquoiseirisjournal and had a lot of fun with it. Would you have something bold like this at home? #contemporaryartwork #artcollector #interiordecorideas #statementpiece #interlakenswitzerland

Made a mess… love it!! This actually started as a fun way to use up leftover paint. Bit of a play, no big plan… just seeing what would happen. I collaged the pages onto canvas and they became the inspiration for this piece. I chose it as one of my five paintings for the Square Foot Show… which I’m a very excited about. I’m lucky enough to be part of show, along with some of my talented artist friends. Awakening @squarefootshow May 15. #squarefootshow

I’ve been working on a series of small paintings (30 cm/ a square foot) and it’s been a huge shift in scale. I’m so excited to share I’ve been selected as one of the featured artists for the Square Foot Show with Dionne Woods headlining. The theme is Awaken and our show is launching in May. Woohoo !! @squarefootshow #squarefootshow

Courage to Bloom 🌸 Bit of a mood lately… things shifting, energy changing, that feeling of wanting to grow but also questioning everything at the same time. So here’s your reminder (and mine) - blooming takes a bit of courage. Not every season feels clear or easy, but things are moving 🐌 🐌 … even when it doesn’t look or feel like it yet. Painting: Courage to Bloom Available #springenergy #artistlife #mixedmediaart #interlaken #creativeprocess

The paintings were easy. The frames were not. I shared these little swan paintings the other day… and then came the frame hunt Not as easy as it sounds. I found some, but they were plain silver and just not it. So I painted them, added a bit of stencil detail and viola! I love them now, they have a vintage romantic vibe and feel like they are part of the art. They’re small (22 x 17 cm) but they still pop. Only 3 available. #interlaken #smallart #artforyourhome #interiorart #swissartist

Swanning around this afternoon… and somehow ended up painting very tiny things. I usually go big, so this felt like a bit of a challenge (and yes… tiny is harder than it looks). All inspired by what’s been happening right outside my studio window. Now I’m thinking fun, slightly unexpected frames… maybe even painting them. What do you think, should I keep going with these mini ones? #minart #swanart

Courage to Bloom Original mixed media painting Life doesn’t always unfold the way we imagined… but that doesn’t mean it’s not leading somewhere. There’s courage in staying with it, in adjusting, trying again, letting something new take shape even when things feel uncertain. A fresh start doesn’t always arrive loudly… sometimes it’s already underway 🌷 Available now View via link in bio or DM #mixedmediaartist #couragetochange #originalartwork

The Art of Becoming - The Weight & The Wonder. In Part 1 (The Spark Within), we explored where creativity begins. In this chapter, we step into something deeper, the messy middle of becoming. I’m part of this film alongside 13 creative women, sharing the unseen side of the journey, doubt, grief, identity shifts, pressure and the questions that surface when life changes. It’s the part where many stop… but also where things begin to transform. #theartofbecoming

Can a leopard change its spots… or does it just keep finding new ways to show up? I might have a thing for them. Layers and texture, with subtle surprises. The kind you see differently over time. And yes… it does seem to make people smile. Original artwork available #soulfulart #leopardart #swissartist #mixedmediapainting T.shirt from #edenashramofficial

a bit of a week… time to get back into my groove and then this beauty, just outside the window not a bad studio distraction I think this is why I want to keep painting them. #studiolife #swan #interlaken

Unfolding A bit of a crazy quilt of life…… still becoming. Mixed Media Canvas 50x50 cm #butterflyart #mixedmediacanvas #unfolding #swissartist

I did 😏 This canvas started with @zeitzone65 and if you know his work, you’ll probably recognise his style straight away. He passed it on to me to use… so I got stuck in. A few layers (ok… quite a few), some texture, a couple of “hmm not sure about that” moments… and it turned into this. Finished it off with copper leaf edges Thanks for the starting point Tinel , I hope you approve 😉 Would you have left it… or gone for it?#sustainableart #mixedmediart #metamorfose

I’ve always been drawn to patterns , layers… texture, little details, the things you might miss at first glance. I’m also the one who’ll spot your new hair doo straight away This part doesn’t shout the loudest… but it holds the whole story together. #designisinthedetails #mixedmedia #processart

Yesterday the swans were putting on quite a show on the river near my studio. They pass by fairly often and I always end up stopping to watch for a minute ( any excuse for a break). They look so peaceful and elegant drifting along but there’s definitely some attitude under those feathers. Somewhere along the way they found their way into the studio. Eternal Flow grew from gazing out the window, an abstract backdrop inspired by the neighborhood and my feathered friends regularly showing off. Original painting 59 x 70 cm Mixed media on canvas Available Send me a message if you’d like details. #swissartist #interlakenswitzerland #swanart

Every day, almost without fail, swans glide past my studio window. This evening, they were putting on quite a show. Watching them glide across the water always slows me down for a moment. Without really planning it, they found their way into a new painting. It’s called Eternal Flow. Revealing it tomorrow. #swissartist #interlaken #unterseen #artiststudio #artcollectors

Last week my friend Porsha @thesilverbohemian who lives in the USA told me Good Fortune was her favourite painting so far. This week she’s on a curator trip with @theturquoiseirisjournal and sent me something that gave me goose bumps Swipe to see it. 🎠 I was meant to be on that trip too, but I was unable to fly. Staying home wasn’t easy. Then this carousel horse appeared, almost a twin to the one I painted. And after seeing it, they said it felt like I was there with them. That lifted my spirits more than they know. It honestly felt like the painting travelled in my place. Good Fortune is about momentum. Forward movement. The kind that keeps going even when you can’t. Sometimes you don’t board the plane. But your work moves. Your people carry you. And somehow… you’re there anyway. #artfriends #artcommunity #theturquoiseirisjournal #symbolicart #yearofthehorse

You know those tiny things you keep? Buttons. Old jewellery. A shell from somewhere exotic . Fabric from something you once wore. They’re not clutter. They’re fragments of your story. In March, I’m opening my Curiosity Cabinet Workshop. Inside, I’ll guide you step by step to create a finished, layered artwork using your own collected treasures and show you how to turn memory into meaningful visual storytelling. If this speaks to the part of you that keeps “good things for later,” join the waitlist via the link in my bio. I’ll be sharing all details there first. Let’s stop hiding the good stuff in drawers. #curatingspaceforinspiredliving #curiositycabinet

Rubbing it in. Following the map. Letting it unfold. #artprocess #contemporarypainting #mixedmediaart #artiststudio #symbolism

I painted this as we step into the Year of the Horse. Strength. Forward motion. And maybe a refusal to be fenced in. “Good Fortune.” Original mixed media on canvas. She’s ready for her next home. Message me for details. #CollectOriginalArt #ArtCollectors #ContemporaryArt #StatementArt #EquineArt

Here they are, fully revealed. Freshly signed and Lacquered. The name? I have a few in mind, but I’m curious what you see. Which one fits her best? Or tell me what you feel when you look at them. 1. In Good Company 2. Nothing Between Them 3. The Wild at Ease #soulfulart #mixedmediaartist #vividart

Art or chocolate? Low-cal, sugar-free sweet hearts . #heartart #creativejoy

She doesn’t chase attention. Attention comes closer. Even the wild knows where to stand. Power doesn’t roar. Sometimes it thinks, observes, and simply is. What would you call this painting? #wildcat #vibrantart #originalartwork

It stopped asking for more. So I stopped. #artistlife #artiststudio #paintingprocess #workinprogress #creativeprocess

My painting isn’t ready to be perceived yet. Apparently, it’s still deciding. When do you know a work is finished? Or does it tell you? #artistlife #artiststudio #paintingprocess #workinprogress #creativeprocess

Looks like I’m painting backwards… but sometimes that’s exactly how it goes Layers and mord layers and the ugly stage. It’s not always about perfection, it’s about enjoying the process and trusting the outcome. Messy, intuitive, a little unpredictable … just how I like it. The humming ( sorry, it’s not in tune) is a sign I’m in flow 😌 he he! #paintingprocess #artistreel #artinprogress #creativeflow #trusttheprocess artistlife processoverperfection behindthescenesart

He was floating again. Kamal the Third. I wasn’t very good at keeping the fish alive. It was the 80s, fish bowls on dressers, big shoulders, even bigger hair. We didn’t know better-we just knew more. More volume. More drama. More hairspray. Turns out that was the real killer. A fine, invisible film settling on the water , courtesy of my hairstyle. It’s ironic how beauty routines had unintended casualties. If the fish were floating, I do wonder what all that spray was doing to us… mmm? I should be so lucky … la la

Some things stay with us. Not because they’re useful, but because they matter. Giving them a place to live together. Curiosity Cabinet Workshop Waitlist open. #workshop

She’s got a secret… shhh Mermaids have always carried that playful, irresistible energy. A little mischievous, a little wild, and absolutely aware of their power. This artwork captures that spirit through vibrant colour, fluid movement, and a sense of light-hearted mystery. Fantasy meets modern whimsy, created to spark imagination and bring a touch of mischief to any space. And yes -I may know a thing or two about mermaids. One of my most legendary dress-up moments involved a tail, confidence, and prosecco. Graceful? Debatable. Memorable? Absolutely

I love painting the sea, summer, and all the colours but sometimes I feel conflicted. I live in a landlocked country, surrounded by the Alps, nothing like the coasts I grew up with. And yet… making a splash.

It was school summer holidays and we were at the beach. I was feeling rather cool standing in the middle of our tin dinghy, ready to push the throttle as dad had instructed. He was in the water holding the boat after taking it off the trailer. „Ok , go now he said “ getting ready to hop over as I slowly moved forward . Full throttle !!! Whoops , the dingy lunged forward, while dad disappeared under the take-off wave . Just a split second - to feel shock and panic , then the giggles. ( nervous laughter) . Everyone was fine, he resurfaced laughing. Confidence and coordination are not the same thing . New art work, just a slice of the scene .

You know that drawer. The one that won’t open unless you give it a good pull and have to close it with your feet, because it’s absolutely crammed with the things you couldn’t quite throw away. I’ve been opening mine lately. Not to tidy it.( who am I kidding ) Not to organise it. But to look and listen. All those bits and bobs have inspired a workshop . Collections becoming beautiful compositions. I’ll share more soon. For now… what’s hiding in your drawer?

January tends to spin faster than I’d like. So I slowed it down and repurposed two old globes. Potentially looking at holiday destinations. Anyone got plans ? Curious what comes next , more globes? ?

Inner Sanctuary : a modern Venus within a shell, embodying feminine strength, self-protection and inner power. Venus makes me think of two things: women adventuring boldly with Venus Adventures - my good friend’s company and that anthem I can’t get out of my head: “I’m your Venus, I’m your fire…” Inner sanctuary isn’t a place. It’s a state of being. I’m still humming… are you dancing now? @venusadventurestravels

Sneak peek - Here is number #2 ( you voted ) from my Echos of the Ocean Collection ! ( got side tracked with. All that festive stuff ) I’m actually wearing a beanie because it’s freezing and I’m day-dreaming of summer. I love long beach walks, hunting for shells (slightly illegal now? 😅), sea glass and driftwood. I even have a little Oceania collection somewhere… which might just turn into a project or for my upcoming workshop. Two big shells from my childhood beachcombing ended up back in Switzerland with me. When I hold them I’m transported back. Cold hands , warm memories, ocean dreams .

Every year I choose a word. Last year it was Dynamic and wow, I lived that one. For 2026, I’m choosing Magnetic. I’ve done the work (and yes, there’s always more), laid the foundations, shown up consistently. Now I’m letting my creations speak, my voice carry…….and seeing what happens when I stop pushing and start attracting. Momentum without burnout. Freedom with substance. Grounded, with room to grow. What’s your word for the year? I’d love to hear, drop it in the comments .

The jelly fish has a deep spiritual meaning surprisingly. It’s not just something you throw at your brother (a summer holiday memory from long ago ) It symbolizes resilience, flow and trust in the universe. As we drift into the new year a little reminder to go with the flow and adapt to whatever the year throws your way .Even if it gets a bit wobbly!!

THE YEAR I SAID YES This year was movement. Heat. Trains. Deadlines. Firsts. A little madness I built a portfolio. Then a website (with a bit of tech help and hair pulling) I melted in 49° visiting family in Oz. Designed and held my own exhibition. Stepped into curating with Turquoise Iris Journal. Sold my first $$$ original on canvas (that one changed me). Taught upcycling in Zurich. Painted postcards at the Kursaal casino. Entered my first digital exhibition and danced at the artist party. Created prints. Finally turned the switch ON so you can buy them. Angels became mini prints and cards - dedicated to women with breast cancer. Alsace with Chéri & family. Trier by train for a Annie Sloan stockist event . Venice by train for my first international exhibition -pinch me moment !! Madly finishing work with “how many hours left??? I didn’t play small this year. I travelled. I showed up. I said yes. 👉 swipe for the ride

Wow, I was just looking back through my photos ( still didn’t organize them in 2025 ) and just realized what a brilliant creative year I had. Ok I can put photo organizing on next years list . What are some creative things you have achieved this year ? #recap2025
