I have always been fascinated by nature and its beauty. Born in Switzerland, I have traveled globally and enjoyed the sights and sounds of the oceans, the Alps, the desert and the hotspots of the islands and city life.

My early career in the culinary field began a creative journey which included cacao painting on marzipan, butter sculptures and ice carvings.

Subsequently, I spent nearly forty years working in world-class resorts, hotels and exclusive private clubs. Many of the classical painters, contemporary artists and photographers provided me with resources. A primary influence is Mother Nature in its four seasons. I am retired and living in Excelsior, Minnesota, on Lake Minnetonka.

Some of my inspirations are landscapes and forests, the shores of Lake Superior, and the floral paradise at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum.
