I have been living and working in Ayrshire, Scotland since 2009. I am originally from Switzerland. Since leaving school I have been working in the aviation industry as an air traffic controller which I love very much. Painting, astronomy and space have always been my hobbies.

 

 My favourite subjects to paint are moon craters, playing with light and shadows. As you will find out looking through my paintings, there are also other space related subjects, such as nebulas, galaxies or even spacecraft. I am very proud to say that I became a member of the International Association of Astronomical Artists.

 

In my spare time, when the weather is nice, I will set up my solar telescope to observe and image the Sun. I am visiting schools and do public outreach to expose as many people as possible to the wonders of our closest star. I am volunteering for the Charlie Bates Solar Astronomy Project.

 

For my next exciting project, I will travel to Tucson in Arizona in July. I will exhibit my art at the Spacefest!!

 

I am looking forward to your feedback and comments. If you have any questions about any of my paintings, please send me an email.
