She lived and taught in Munich for many years
I make small sculptures of people (often portraits) and abstract forms in clay / wax and carved stone then cast in bronze. I work myself, in a little German foundry. The paintings are in watercolour and acrylic, of simplified landscapes and people. Everything reflects my African roots, my forms are abstracted, tactile, organic.
