My weaving is almost exclusively silk, as it lets the colours shine more than any other material. My surface structure is created by using industrially made yarns with the strength of sewing silk. Using a variety of shades of red in the warp, I can differentiate nuances of a shade of red.

I was allowed to weave a clothing fabric based on my own ideas during my internship. It was then tailored into a skirt and gifted to me. I was overjoyed. This experience also influenced my decision to train as a hand weaver.

The Danner Foundation promotes Bavarian arts and crafts since 1920. The Danner Prize and several honorary prizes are awarded every three years. In 2011, I received one of them. In addition to the award itself, I particularly liked the presentation.

I am very thankful for our life as an artist couple. Our finances were sometimes tight in the beginning. But an order or collector always came along at the right time. Over the course of our professional careers, we have met many great people.
