THE (NOT SO) SECRET LIFE OF US
(and a few more of our collaborators)
|
Katharina Rapp, who claims to have a Ph.D. in Nonsense, loves to paint birds, and butterflies, and trees, and men, but it is her paintings of 'the better moments in a womans life' that have captured the public's imagination. She sells the original oil paintings from her home and studio, while her images, often executed on a commission basis, can be seen world-wide on wine labels, art cards, motivational boxed card sets, book covers, magazines, etc. Humour in painting, she had been told at Art School, is as rare as hens’ teeth, and she should stick with it.
Ms Rapp divides her time between the sunny, free and easy country town of Castlemaine in Australia, and the cultural city life of Leipzig in Germany.
