Born in Bavaria, Germany, Dorothea has had a passion for art since childhood. She discovered early that her true artistic inspiration came from nature. Her passion for organic beauty fed her desire to capture the art of the natural world.

Dorothea uses water media to paint on water color paper or canvas. Her artwork bridges the boundaries between realism and abstract expressionism.

"I found a way to communicate in a language without words. My paintings are reflections of my soul, searching for the truth in life."

Dorothea presented her work in many selected exhibitions, including the Sumner Museum in Washington DC, San Bernardino County Museum in California, Berman Museum in Pennsylvania, and DeVos Museum at Northern Michigan University.
