When I founded Red Balloon Studio in 2009, after many years’ experience working in Design, Illustration, Calligraphy and Fine Art, my goal was to combine all these areas under one roof: to create a one-stop Fine Art Service. Throughout my career in the private, public and commercial sectors my skill set has allowed customers to maximize the possibilities offered by this multi-skilled approach. Clients can choose to use the services I offer either singly or in combination.
I hold a degree in Design (Bachelor of Design, Germany) and Illustration (Master of Design, Britain), specializing in Illustration, and increasingly Fine Art. Since 2006 I have also been sharing my creative talents with others, teaching water colour painting and calligraphy in both Germany and Great Britain. In 2010 and 2011 my work was awarded several times.
In this call centre era, I prefer to offer personal consultations whether by phone, e-mail or, whenever possible, face-to-face.
Enjoy your visit here at Red Balloon!
