The year 2018 in review

It was a great and successful year with lots of events, exhibitions, excursions and new inspired people who love Botanical Art as much as I do!

Have a very peaceful pre-Christmas time with reflection, inspiration and creativity.

Much love, Katja ❤️

VERNISSAGE OF MY SOLO-EXHIBITION

The opening event of the exhibition was taking place at the Leubnitz Castle in Saxonia, Germany on November 11, 2017 . Around sixty art enthusiasts came to see forty of my newer and also some of my older graphite and watercolour paintings.

Overall it was a great opening event where people have been informed about the tradition of botanical art and illustration.

If you got time come and visit the beautiful village of Leubnitz, the impressive castle with it’s stunning Natural History Museum.

My exhibition will be running until February 3, 2018 during the opening hours of the Castle.

It would be absolutely lovely if you would leave a note in the guestbook or send me a message via email or on Facebook, when you have been to see the exhibition 🌺🎨😊

AT THE ART MARKET 2016 IN SCHWARZENBACH/SAALE

A great yearly event where not only art interested people meet. I had a blast showing the crowd again how fabulous botanical art can be.

Graphite Workshop at the VHS Bayreuth June 2016

A wonderful weekend with very talented students!

I have enjoyed every minute and I’m very happy that I could show them how much fun Botanical Art could be! 🌺🌺

ARUM TITANUM IS IN FULL BLOOM AGAIN IN BAYREUTH!

Three years in a row – an all time record! The Arum Titanum is in full bloom again at the Botanical Gardens in Bayreuth.

I went to see it yesterday and I´m glad I have drawn it already. She is beautiful but truly stinks! 😝

Last year and the year before it was its big sister plant who showed its beautiful velvet skirt in Bayreuth.

However, nobody expected it’s little sister to produce a flower this year as well.

What an incredible occasion for the Botanical Gardens in Bayreuth!

VISIT TO THE ‘HERBARIUM UBT’ AT BAYREUTH UNIVERSITY

I´m such a lucky girl, I am! I am practically not only have the wonderful Bayreuth Botanical Gardens on my doorstep when my little artist heart seeks for inspiration. No. Even the ‘Herbarium UBT’ of the University is my first point of contact and indispensable when it comes to draw scientific studies in detail.

Big thanks to Dr. Ulrich Meve who gave me a tour through his little “kingdom”. Totally elating! 😀

SOLO-EXHIBITION AT THE BAVARIAN COUNTY GARDEN FESTIVAL

AT BAYREUTH 2016

Over 1300 visitors, potential buyers, new students and contacts as well as countless interesting conversations later I can say that my exhibition at the Bavarian County Garden Show in Bayreuth did not only gave me and my work quite some attention but also put a spotlight onto Botanical Art.

Who also would have thought that I would be faced with serious weather warnings including thunder, lightning, horrendous rain including the closure of the show – twice! Still, even with the unpredictable weather a lot of people including friends and family made the effort to come and see my atwork which I really appreciate.

I can call it a success overall!

Thanks guys! 🌺
