About & Contact

Hello, I’m Tanja.

I live in Castalla, in the hills behind Spain’s Costa Blanca. Three years ago I moved here from Germany’s Ruhr region, and together with my husband I renovated an old house. That is also where my studio came to life.

Nature around me is my greatest inspiration. I love hiking with my husband and our little dog Pepper, or spending time in our garden watching the birds and insects. Along the way I collect small moments that I later paint. My favourite materials are oil pastels, acrylics and coloured pencils.

Before turning fully to painting, I worked as a UI/UX designer for more than 15 years. A close eye for detail, for colour and for what can be left out still guides me today – only now I work on paper instead of a screen.

My paintings become fine art prints on Hahnemühle paper and my puzzle book The Garden Files, in which you solve little mysteries from my garden.

If you have a question about a print or simply want to say hello, I’d love to hear from you.
