Our home and almost all it contained including our family history, our furniture, our car and my years of artwork and materials – all taken in a matter of moments in the catastrophic floods in the Ahr Valley, Germany.

We are so grateful our family is safe.
But we have now just heard our insurance won’t pay out for floods! We are devastated – again.



WE NEED HELP
I have created a donate button.

We would be thankful for each tiny help
We only want to somewhere to call ‘our home’ where we can safely live and I can create art again.
Thank you!
Doris, Norbert, Miriam and Nicholas

I have painted another miniature painting - it is a coneflower with a bee.
This painting is done in watercolor and the size is 2,5" x 3,5".

Hi, we are back from our vacations from Netherlands. It was a wonderful time with good weather and a lot of inspiration. I have done hundreds of photos and I hope that some will turn in wonderful paintings.
