About me

My first memory goes back to kindergarten. I was drawing, and the subject was " Belief ". So I drawed crosses and a sad looking Jesus, on a large black cross

I`m no believer any more. I`ve seen to many good and bad times during my artistic life.

The first day in school I drawed my brother without hands. So the teachers decided, this boy was not ready for school, and sended me back to the kindergarten.

for one more year. I was always late. I needed more time doing things, than other people.

As a teenager, I loved construction zones, because I liked to draw on the liquid concrete. And left my signs there. I also left my name on walls. That made me feel happy. My father beated me up for that, but it was no matter to me. I did it again and again.

In the art class at school, was my hobby, to look in my teachers dress neck, to take a look at her breasts. My work was rather bad.

Years later in a hospital I discoverd my skill of painting and drawing, My first work was a 15m corridor. The walls took me 4 weeks.

I was really busy and sold my works to the nurses and doctors. From the earned money I bought my first draw kit and material.So it became more and more.

30 years later I came in contact with the Prinzhorn Collection at Heidelberg. We where there for an exhibition and I fell in love with the Collection. I introduced myself to Thomas Röske a member of the Prinzhorn Collection, as a founder of the Outsider Art Group " Das Atelier Lahr " which was founded in 2004.

My skill improved through out the years and changed my view on what is nice and ugly. I`m pleased by the work with psycho patients and artists. It stills the hunger of my soul. My pictures, books, lyrics are the mirror of my mind. Beside my cancer and psycho attacks pleases me my writing and formulation. No therapie can do and replace my reliefe of what I`m feeling when I draw or write. It changed during the last 30 years. I take photos of my lyrics and words and collect them in books or in digital media.

Numerous publications since 2018 mark my way. It doesn`t bother me at all, what others think about my work, if they find it good or not. I want to be authentic, and want to write and draw what I like and think.

Thank you for your interest

and I enjoy telling more of me
