I always had a thing for reusing materials. When I was younger, I inherited boxes of old treasures from my grandma and grandpa who was a painter too. From brushes, to ribbons, from paper to sewing templates. For this abstracted landscape artwork, I used their antique paper mixed with found paper from Canada and cut-outs from my old paintings. Dream away in a coral and chocolate landscape.

Let’s be like wildflowers. They are growing anywhere and everywhere. Blooming in all the places people thought they never would. Growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day, simply following the sun. Nature cherishes each brilliant, quirky bloom. A celebration of uniqueness and acceptance.

Let’s be like wildflowers. Not waiting for the storm to pass, but learning how to dance in the rain. Gently swaying to the sound of the wind. Let’s be brave and true. Embrace a slower pace of life. Making time to enjoy the sights, tastes, scents and sounds that you encounter. Eternally curious, authentic, open and playful and not afraid to step off the beaten path. Creating memories that you’ll treasure forever. Wandering barefoot, sharing, loving, gathering while enjoying the journey.

Let’s be like wildflowers.

The structure in this painting is so strong, you can almost feel the brush strokes. I enjoy playing with colours, combining small highlights in a nude palette.

This painting always makes me smile, sweet memories of summer. I was inspired by the colors and the taste of this delicious lemon and raspberry pie so I painted it.

Let yourself be guided by her expression, I’m curious to know what this portrait might make you feel.

I love to paint ‘en plein air’, outdoors in nature and when I’m traveling. The process of painting is very intuitive, and the colors, texture, the emotion, discovering & interpreting surrounding inspire me. Color is often one of the most exciting components in my paintings.

Walking in Marrakesh is eye time for me. Seeing a world full of colors. Food for my soul.

The night clears the sky for a new day to come. Free to fly, wondering with wide open eyes.

My mind, free as a bird dreaming, tasting the beauty of the wild.

Magic everywhere. Picking wild flowers and touching the sky.

“Sakura” means “cherry blossom”. Derived from the Japanese word “Saku” which means to bloom or smile. I love the tiny delicate pink flowers produced by cherry blossom trees. Beautiful flowers with a beautiful meaning as the Sakura blossoms represent a time of renewal and optimism.

Autumn colors… feeling the fresh wind in your hair, watching the leaves change their colours before softly falling to the ground.

"When life gives you lemons…”

I love this proverbial phrase. Lemons suggest sourness or difficulty in life while making lemonade out of it is turning them into something positive and desirable.

In Japan the ginkgo’s fan-shaped leaf has caried symbolism along with its singular beauty: A symbol of growth, protection, peace, strength and hope, a symbol of longevity and a symbol of love.

Ginko is also associated with duality, a concept that recognizes the feminine and masculine aspects of all living things, ying and yang. In mythology, it’s the tree of live while the leaf is the symbol for love. Thus, a lovely gift for yourself or a loved one.

I walk home across the rice-fields, green emerald rice fields. The grassy blades whispering, swaying in the gentle breeze. Let us walk once again through the innocent charm of the paddy fields. Hiding ourselves in this cocoon of simplicity. Emerald green fields.

 Beautiful warm and earthy colours inspired by the spice curcuma.

Du bist auf der Suche nach einem Geschenk, aber unsicher, was du schenken sollst? Dann ist die tinystories Geschenkkarte genau das richtige.

"I think, that giving art as a present is a wonderful way of passing on sentiment, showing that you know a person, that you are thinking of her/him, and giving them something that they’ll cherish." x Tiny

Dreaming. Embracing the quiet of the night before the day begins.

Following the light. Embracing every part of the journey listening and learning. Sometimes the story unfolds different, but that doesn’t mean less beautiful…

Trusting the process. Free to try again, appreciating the unexpected.

So much passion. Open heart seeing more, my feet on the ground.

Stillness reminds me this present moment. My mind and harmony with my heart embracing the stillness Loving embrace.

I love the mountains, rivers and the ocean. On our winding journey of life, we are like the river, coursing it's way gingerly toward the sea, exploring the universe of that inward journey toward the self.

It’s a beautiful day. Let’s take a bath in the warm sunlight. It’s a beautiful day. Follow the love, follow the light.

Live for the tiny little things in life. Life is a series of thousands of tiny little miracles. Live for sunrises and sunsets. The sound of the ocean, the smell of the rain and starry nights. Live for the small words of praise, a smile. The tiny things like a good cup of coffee or a fresh smelling flower, a handwritten love note or the smile of a stranger. Live for the tiny things in life, because they will make you realize that this is what life is about. Let’s dance in the sunlight, wearing wildflowers in our hair. Live for the tiny little things.

Morning sun in my atelier, rays lightening up the room. Could a smile may be the same as sunshine? Cause it banishes winter coldness from the human countenance. Sweet summer morning..
