Biography
She treasures a drawing created by her mother, which was her first and enduring inspiration of her work. Born into a large German family, Brigitte first traveled to England as a young woman, then immigrated to the USA, eventually settling in Chicago.
Since then, she has increasingly developed her skills in both sculpture and painting. She has thus far studied at The School of the Art. Institute of Chicago, The Noyes Center, Palette and Chisel and the Evanston Art Center, in each case her talent continues to mature.
One finds in her work exploration of the human form, especially in dance and other movement, modulated, by varying uses of light and color. While her painting may seem to render homage to postimpressionist such as Mattisse De Kooning and Cezanne, the former in certain of her human images, the latter in some of her still-life’s–she imbues her work with her own sense of dimension and illumination…and recently enjoys to shape her image of the abstract.
Her works have attracted critical attention and can be found in Galleries and collected both here and Europe.
