Painting animals is the culmination and essence of a long artistic journey that I have been on for many years. It may sound simple, but sometimes the most obvious things are the hardest to find. I have been passionate about drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. Many years ago, I completely turned my life around: I quit my job in marketing management, studied painting and dedicated myself entirely to art.

My journey took me through different styles, from large-format works to a wide variety of themes and abstraction. But again and again I returned to what had already inspired me as a child: the world of animals. Today, I combine this passion with the knowledge I have gained over the years in painting, techniques and materials.

My studio, where I love to work, is located in Tiefenbach, just a stone's throw from Landshut. Here I work together with my husband Klaus Soppe, who is also a freelance painter. With the inspiring city of Landshut, the home of my grandmother and her siblings, the Isar river and the beautiful countryside behind me, I find everything I need for my creative work.
