I was born in Munich, Germany. I came to America when I was 5. I grew up on the East Coast and returned to Germany after college. My parents wouldn’t let me go to Art School, so my undergraduate degree in History Of Art. My first husband said if you could ever choose where he was going to live it would be Mill valley, California. We founded a Poster Company in the 60’s. The whole collection is now in The Victoria Albert museum in London. I finally did go to Art School in San Francisco. I received a Master’s degree from the San Francisco Art institute. I have a beautiful studio in my house which i call my Mother’s guilt for not letting me go to Art School.
