Kirsten Alletter
Born in Bergisch Gladbach in 1969, the artist lives and works in Forstern, to the east of Munich.
During the 40 years that painting has been her
passion, she has experimented with a wide variety of of media and techniques. Having studied flora and fauna both in Germany and overseas, she captures her impressions in her works.
She now has her own studio where she devotes her time to art. Her delight in the infinite variation of natural forms and colours is reflected in her paintings.
Several years ago, she discovered a second passion for creating sculptures in stone.
