Then, on to further activities as a bookseller, antiquarian and art dealer. First publication of literary texts. Evening classes at the Parsons School for Design in New York, courses for botanical drawing in Berlin, workshops at the Jane Packer Flower School, London.

This is followed by hands-on experience with decorating rooms for events, festivities, presentations, interior settings, decorating Christmas trees, workshops for decorative gift-wrapping, and table decoration, illustrative and graphic work for German and international companies, as well as private clients.

Thematic Christmas trees were designed and decorated for Unilever Deutschland, Hamburg, and for the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Cotton-wool figures based on historical originals decorated the Christmas tree in the Deutsche Historische Museum, Berlin, which were then purchased for their archives.

The figurines are created from the following materials: cardboard, fabric and hand-made coloured paper. The »Miniature Couture« addresses such themes as »Ballets Russes« or »Japan-Swiss«, which is a combination of high-quality Swiss fabrics and hand-made Japanese paper.

Illustrations can be found in the »Villa Flora«, where the rooms are decorated with sketched scenes offering glimpses into surreal worlds. Landscapes, a multitude of plants, poets, Mozart and other creative beings are portrayed together.

Mise-en scène in real environments, in vaults and stately rooms in castles, at cultural locations, such as Lessing's house in Wolfenbüttel, in hotel lobbies, in display cabinets and exhibition rooms - these are all poetic signs for things to come. We never stop exploring.
