Maren has spent most of her life living in Europe and has always loved painting.

Due to her demanding career, Maren has travelled the world extensively over the last 25 years. However her travel gave her the opportunity to see great art created by both famous and emerging artists, along with the art of many other cultures.

Art never let her go: Given the chance, Maren kept painting, exhibited, and participated in art courses.

Her life took a turn when she immigrated to New Zealand in 2007. She exchanged her busy hectic life for a more relaxing and laid back life in N.Z. Now she can completely indulge her passion for art and loves painting in her studio at home.

Maren is particularly inspired by the human body. Her intension is to express femininity and masculinity within her work. She loves painting nudes and figuratively. To her the human body is sensual, fun, attractive and sexy - with all perfections and imperfections. She experiments with all kinds of mediums to capture her impressions and express them.

Maren has exhibited successfully in various exhibitions. Her work is hanging in private collections in Germany, France and New Zealand.
