It has always been my desire to tell stories and have them accompanied by atmospheric pictures. To create my own worlds and to fill them with funny and interesting characters and bring them to life. Drawing has been my favorite tool since the beginning. Sometimes I’m at a loss for words at important moments. But I hope, that I can express with my drawings, what troubles me to say out loud.

Behind the Facade
An illustrated Story about Loneliness.
A picture book that deals with the topic of loneliness in old age.
In my picture book “Behind the Facade”, I work with the theme of loneliness in old age. The protagonist of the Story, Mr. Grummel, is avoided by his neighbors because of his unfriendly manner until a terrible storm forces them to seek shelter in his house. There the memories of his bygone life will be uncovered. On 16 illustrated Spreads we accompany Mr. Grummel, how he protects himself from the dawning Storm, lets people into his home, whom he doesn’t even like and who turn his whole life upside down in just one single night.
I want to thank my whole family. But special thanks go to my sister, who has been there for me through all the highs and the lows of this journey. Thank you, that you believe in me.
