Hi, I’m Andrea. I am an artist, illustrator and printmaker, also a mother of three, living in Potsdam, Germany. I love riddles and mysteries and how things often seem to connect and come back in circles. I collect snippets of songs, patterns in nature, real magical stories and way too many art supplies.
Books are one of my favorite things in the world. I love reading them, illustrating them, writing them. The possibilities to play with format and style seem endless. Does this story want to be a graphic novel, or a picture book? Or something entirely new? Small details are often what makes something special to me, and I aim to apply this in my work as well and hide clues and surprises in my art.
You can find me on Instagram and Facebook, but you can reach me best via Email. If you’d like to hear from me from time to time please join my Newsletter. And of course, if you happen to be in the neighborhood, please don´t hesitate to ring me up. We can go have a coffee in the wind mill close by and watch the miller make the flour for our cookies...
