[2] She graduated as a Master student under the painter Raimer Jochims . [3] In 1985, she received a scholarship from the Arts Foundation of Baden-Württemberg. [4] In 1995, she won the prize for painting of the Westphalian Kunstverein Münster and a grant from the Deutsche Akademie Rom Villa Massimo [5] in Olevano Romano. In 2001, she received a scholarship from the Foundation Cultural Fund Berlin, Ahrenshoop and in 2005 she was awarded with the Hanna Nagel Prize.

The artist is concerned with the interaction of colour [9] and can be situated in the tradition of colour field painting. [10] She paints using highly diluted acrylic paints on wooden panels (panel paintings) and since 2018 on canvas. Since 1999, she also creates large format colour field compositions directly on interior walls. Her mural paintings focus in particular on the spatial effect of the colours thereby the colour fields create a deep dialogue with the architecture and de-materialise the space. [11]

Norbert Prangenberg was an abstract painter, sculptor, and engraver who was born in Nettseheim, just outside of Cologne, Germany. Though he had no formal training and did not fully engage with art until his 30s, Prangenberg did finally come up with a style that was uniquely his own, not fitting comfortably into the neo-expressionist or neo-geo movements of his time, in the 1970s and 1980s. At this time, he was considered a major figure in contemporary German art. Though he got his start with abstract paintings, he also became known for making sculptures of all sizes; and while his work initially appears abstract, the titles given sometimes allude to the human body or a landscape. As a trained gold- and silversmith, as well as a glassblower, he always showed an attention to materials and how they could be physically engaged with. He was interested in how his own two hands could affect the painting or sculpture's surface. Traces of the artist's hand appear literally throughout his entire oeuvre, before he lost the battle with liver cancer in 2012.

Ulrich Erben is a German painter. From 1980 to 2005, he was a Professor of Painting at the Kunstakademie Münster. He is known as a master of the color field style of abstract painting, closely related to abstract expressionism, in which he creates tension between a defined surface structure, his own method of applying paint to a canvas, and the relationship of various shades of white or color to each other in their placement as part of a composition on the flat plane of a canvas. In 1986 and 2008, he was awarded the Konrad-von-Soest Prize for Visual Arts by the Landschaftsverband Westfalen-Lippe.
