Name: Karin Goeppert
Bio:
Karin Goeppert was born in 1955 in Stuttgart, Germany. She had been interested
in art since her mid-teens but had ambitions to be a writer rather than an
artist. Ten years ago she started painting with oil, acrylics and watercolours
and six years later she switched to pastel when she was given some to try out. Captivated
by the directness, the spontaneity and the fantastic colours of the medium, she
decided push the medium as far possible in a contemporary style. She has been
working on making her landscapes expressive, colouristic, tending towards abstract
and contemporary. This has inevitably progressed to fully abstract works of
late. Given that her influences include Cezanne, Franz Marc, Mark Leach and
Lovis Corinth, this is a natural progression.
Karin is a self-taught artist, but has taken workshops with Astrid Volquardsen and Casey Klahn. She is a member of the Association for the Promotion of Art Stuttgart eV, with whom she has exhibited, and has been a member of the Pastel Guild of Europe since November 2009. Karin and her husband have lived in Stuttgart, Hamburg, Munich and California; for or the past 8 years she has lived Berlin, where she spends most of her spare time painting.
