Hello
LaPaletta is the name of my art business, which includes my atelier and art supplies shop at Casti Löwenberg in Schluein, Switzerland and my online shop.
I paint, draw, make prints and collages and love colour, pattern, layers, abstraction, and anything to do with paper. I enjoy experimenting with new ways to approach artistic challenges.
My shop is open whenever I'm there and otherwise 24/7 online. The online shop specialises in Japanese, English and other speciality papers but my cupboards at LaPaletta are full of paints, brushes, pencils, printmaking materials etc. so if you come for an event at Casti Löwenberg, come and see what I have in stock.
​
I also welcome visitors to my atelier. I have art for sale and am always happy to talk about techniques, inspiration and ideas.

My Story
I was born in Germany, grew up in various parts of England, and am Swiss and British. I've also lived in the USA and Japan. My best language is English, but I get by in German and in Romansh, (Switzerland's fourth official language, which is a descendant of the spoken Latin language of the Roman Empire).
Art was not my first career. I studied Human Biology and then Business Administration at Universities in the UK, worked in the brewing, pharmaceutical and vision care industries and then as a freelance business writer and translator. Thirty years ago I joined a watercolour class in the USA, and then tried ink painting and paper crafts in Tokyo. Moving back to Switzerland in 2000 I started getting serious with a fine arts foundation course, followed by more intensive drawing and painting studies and printmaking courses.
During the last 20 or so years I have organised and participated in numerous exhibitions in the Zürich area, coached many adult artists from around the world, run corporate creative events and owned an art school, a gallery, and an art shop. Now I am concentrating on my own art and enjoying the creative community at Casti Löwenberg and the local region. I am also a member of the Board of Trustees of the Lilly Keller Foundation in Thusis, which is responsible for the artist's estate, including her works of art, and her house, atelier and garden in Thusis.
​
I live in Laax with my husband and our dog. We have two sons, two daughters-in-law and a grand-daughter.
