Doors have such a symbolic meaning. In life and in the world.

You never know which door will lead towards your dreams, until you have the courage to walk through it.

But they are also just so fascinating to look at. Only recently, I started to see them in a different light in that they caught my eye more and more and now I see gorgeous doors everywhere. Imagine they could talk to us. Would you sit down and listen?

By June, the barley changed in colour and ripeness and now in July it has been harvested.

Freiheit means freedom in German and even though I made this artwork three years ago, it returned to my mind now and wanted to be born into the wider world.

Crafting change

March 17, 2019January 17, 2020Daniela - the lady behind the bird

In the beautiful and lush region around Fort Portal in Uganda over a 1000 women craft change by producing handmade high-quality baskets that are exported to England every three months.

Initiated and developed by Anne, the ladies develop their own natural colours, dye the raw material made of raffia, banana fiber and papyrus into a rainbow of colours, and handcraft the baskets. The products therefore come in stunning combinations and patterns.

Talking to these wonderful souls is very inspirational. They kindly open a window into their lives when we visit for my husband‘s amazing social enterprise Communauts.
