I registered 4 of my newest paintings, the COVID 2020 series, for the ARTBOX.PROJECT Zurich 2.0 that will take place during the SwissArtExpo in August 2020.

Mid July they will inform if I will be one of the finalists or semi-finalists…fingers crossed…

The pandemic is preoccupying the whole world and the Artbox team has set up a remarkable creative iniative. In spite of everything, they think we should continue and try to hold on to the positive. 

Artbox.talent wants to create a GIANT GREAT piece of art with artists from all over the world, with which they can spread an important message. The artwork should show how people from all over the world can create something great together. Using today’s digital media, every artist can make his or her own contribution from home. The Artbox team will then put all the pieces together to create a great work of art. This work of art will then be exhibited in August 2020 at the large SWISSARTEXPO in Zurich Main Station. The artwork measures 6×2 meters. All artists who have contributed to it will be mentioned by name next to the artwork. Every participant will also receive a photo of the finished artwork at SWISSARTEXPO!

Practical, the artist can download a template with 30 little fields. ONE field every day, for 30 days, will be coloured. Any technique, style and colour is allowed! Each field is filled with the colour that best describes how you feel that day. After 30 days all your fields should be painted. Take a photo of your work, and upload it to Artbox.talent page.

It was really fun doing this during the past 30 days, and it gave a kick knowing that so many other artists were doing the same. Thank you Artbox to keep us creative!

Dear students and customers,

Finally, after over 6 weeks of closure of my atelier LindArt due to the Corona crisis, I can offer you again some painting fun in my atelier! Thank you for your patience and understanding.

In line with the current rules, we keep our distance of 1,50 to 2 meters, wearing masks, and when the weather allows it, we paint outside in the garden.

So relieved and happy that we can act upon our creativity again, although restricted.

Just give me a call and we arrange an individual appointment! Looking forward to you all!

Unfortunately not Van Gogh nor Lautrec…anyhow welcome to my exhibition in the Commerzbank Bad Homburg, 2nd Floor, Louisenstrasse.

Leider kein Van Gogh oder Lautrec…trotzdem willkommen auf meiner Ausstellung in Commerzbank Bad Homburg, 2.OG, Louisenstrasse.

Seit Mitte September arbeiten 40 Schueler der vierten Klasse an der Grundschule Reifenberg gemeinsam mit der Malerin Linda De Clercq und dem Holzgestalter Matthias Schmidt an eine Arche. Die Arche wird im Schulhof aufgestellt.

Unsere Thema ist ein Katastrophe… die Welt wird untergehen…Das ist der Ausgangspunkt unserer Zusammenarbeit. Die Arche ist ein Rettungsschiff. Sie hat nur begrenzt Platz. Was muesst Ihr unbedingt retten, was ist euch wichtig?”Als Rettungsobjekte koennen Mutter & Vater, Oma & Opa, beste Freund(in), das Haustier, aber auch Werte wie Freundschaft, Liebe, Mitgefuehl, Zuneigung mitgenommen werden.

Wir haben uns in verschiedenen kuenstlerische Techniken den Thema genaehernt: Leinwand, Farben, Pappmache, Holz. Die Kinder haben sich fuer das Arche-Projekt tolle Sachen ausgedacht und gestaltet.

Das Project hat der Schueler und die Kuenstler unheimlich viel spaB gemacht! Zusammen mit alle Schulkinder, viele Lehrer, Eltern und 2 Vertreter der Buergerstiftung Schmitten – die das ganze finanziert hat – wurde die Arche am 15 November eingeweiht!
