Approach

I understand myself as a facilitator and companion in an exploration which is deeply intimate and subjective. I endeavour to create a helpful framework for the clients to dive into their creative flow. I like to work interactively and encourage people to express themselves authentically. The meaning of what occurs is defined by the client, and although I can share my impressions, I refrain from interpretation or analysis.

Enjoyment of the process is a crucial criteria for a successful and fulfilling session. However, one also encounters one`s “dark sides”, fears and resistances. This can be very upsetting and revealing. My job is to hold the space and to suggest ways out of the crisis. If desired, the collaboration can develop into a therapeutic direction. In this regard, artistic creation can be used as a means to deal with one’s own personality. Life issues are addressed, reflected on, processed and transformed. I find this exploration extremely beneficial and healing.

However, I am also happy to work with people who simply want to take time for themselves and their own creative development and who want to be accompanied in a clear, stimulating and loving way. Creating art for the sake of art is reason enough. My approach is less educational. I also teach techniques, but the focus is on promoting inventiveness. In this way you find the freedom of your unique creative expression.
