Being curious is also a talent!
As a small child I had the talent to live in my adventurous dreams. From this came the urge to travel the big wide world. I visited many exotic destinations and lived in different corners of the world. I often returned from travels without money, but my backpack was always filled with adventures, new acquaintances and many life experiences.
My travels were and are always in the view of people, culture and art – especially textile art.
“without fruit” I travel deep into my feelings!
