Who is behind the stage name Stella di Mare? Well, as a native German (December 1983) I grew up in the scenic and traditionally enchanting Bavaria, more precisely in the picturesque region of Lindau in Lake Constance.

After my Abitur at the Bodensee-Gymnasium Lindau in 2003, I studied the following years, also in Bavaria, at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen- Nürnberg as a major in art history and in the minor subjects Italo-Romance philology and economics. I successfully completed this course in 2009 with my master's degree as an art historian.

After ten years of professional experience in a wide variety of areas, I realized my long-cherished dream, mainly due to my emigration to southern Italy, to the breathtaking region of the Cilento National Park, and wrote my first book in the picturesque landscape of Campania, a humorous and autobiographical life guide, which Christmas 2021 was published in Germany.

At the moment I dedicate myself to oil painting with all my heart and soul, my second great passion, which is based on the basic training as a Bob Ross Instructor from the year 2020 and will be individualized by me more and more. This creates my “magical landscape painting” which experiments a lot with light, reflections and colors to create a very special, fairy-tale magic.
