Distance and tranquility while painting and drawing at Heilig Kreuztal Monastery

€895 for course fees, accommodation in a single room, full board, studio rental Founded by Cistercian nuns, the complex is now the best-preserved monastery in Upper Swabia. A beautifully renovated, incomparable setting steeped in centuries of monastic history. Feel the soothing and relaxing effect this place has on your body and mind.

Healthy, balanced, varied, and preferably regional cuisine. At breakfast, lunch, and dinner, there is a rich and attractive buffet to choose from. At lunchtime, we offer various starters, salads, soup, three different main courses, one of which is vegetarian, and desserts. The cold/hot evening buffet awaits you with various types of bread, cold cuts and cheese platters, salads, and a hot dish.

Every day, there are small exercises and a little theory lessons on portraiture, perspective, image composition, and colors. You work on your own ideas, templates, and concepts, and I provide individual support on all artistic questions. All materials and techniques are possible.

As an instructor and coach, I teach people of all ages how to work creatively. I develop and supervise art projects ranging from design theory, drawing, and painting to small sculptural works. As a mentor, I accompany the artistic and personal process, encourage personal experiences, promote individual potential, and support its development.

Since 2013, I have been organizing painting trips to selected monasteries in Germany and Italy. As a freelance artist, I work on commissions and exhibitions. As a person, I am a hobby farmer and love horses, dogs, cats, good food, and music from all over the world.
