In the Studio

Every painting must pass the frame

A painting may leave the studio unframed, but never before I've placed it into its mount, set it behind glass, and seen it framed myself. That's my last check — the moment I know a work is finished, and stands the way I pictured it before the first brushstroke. Even the smallest is no exception.

The Studio

The studio door is open

Behind this door is a community of fellow painters: conversations about pigments, light and shade, and the small botanical details we all obsess over. Every recording of the free sessions waits here, and the library keeps growing with my guides and insights. This is also where the atelier opens for applications: small classes, a dozen places at a time, painting alongside me. Membership is free.

Join the studio

The studio is on air every two weeks, Saturdays at 10:00 Berlin time. See what's coming up →
