I live in Oakland, California—a multicultural city worlds away
from the small farming village where I grew up in Switzerland.
My paintings are informed by many different voices, sounds,
smells, and unexpected encounters. Conversations ensue.
Memories and thoughts are triggered and shared. Perceptions
are challenged. I carry the sensations left by these interactions
back into the studio and translate them into paintings. I believe
that these conversations continue long after the paintings are
completed and have a life of their own.
