Color and Light

Marita was born and raised in Germany and now lives in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. She began her career as a hairstylist and make-up artist, owning health spas in Laguna beach and Carmel where she was able to create an environment of nuturing beauty and healing for herself and others. Marita is a self-taught artist with studies at the School of Arts at Santa Barbara, a place that inspired her greatly. Since then she's had  exhibits in southern and northern California, Palm Desert and Lake Tahoe, as well as San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. Private Collections of her work are located in Florida, Palm Springs, Palm Desert, San Francisco, and San Miguel de Allende Mexico.

The origin of Marita's work came through her love of color, dimension, light and her own inner journey. Her observation of the inner movements led to an expression of her heart seeing the spiritual in abstract ways, being inspired by its versatility and freedom of expression.

Marita says, "For me, creativity and art are about sharing ...both the viewer and the painter create together. We undertake a journey of courage and surrender when we look at the canvas."
