Petra K. Furniss-Lober
Born in 1964 in Berlin, married and lived since 2022 in a “Chocolate Box” village in CW of France.
A concept for me is extremely emotional; freedom of the imagination, the interpretation of perspectives and realisation of viewpoints, observations made in life along with relative design.
The fascination lies in blue as well as the transformation; the process of creating a picture.
My artistic background encompasses aspects characterised by professional training as a technical draughtswoman (1981), academic studies becoming a teacher of art (teaching college studies, 1986), university studies in 2001 in the field of general art education and organisational development. In addition to this, I took specialist training in the field of human resources and development (2007).
In the forthcoming months, I intend on providing classes based on your personal needs. A facilitator for beginners. I have been working as a freelance artist since 2019.
