Hi! I’m Gerlinde, but everyone calls me either “G” or “GG.” I love the ease of “G!”

I love making any kind of art, but especially collage and mixed media, adding paint, mark-making, creating books, and generally getting messy. So fun! I started collaging when I was in fourth grade (we called it scrapbooking back then). Over the years, I have been involved with many art modalities, and there has not been one I did not enjoy. I even used my students’ creativity as inspiration during my years as a science educator.

Along with art, I bring expertise from many years in the nutrition and food. I am always excited to talk or teach nutrition and food-related topics. I grew up in the garden and adore plants. I am excited to share some of my own herbal care products soon. Yup, you can tell, I am a maker.

You are in good hands as I offer you a warm, supportive, and caring workshop. I am a certified Creative Depth Coach, a Soul Collage Facilitator, a Journey Circles and Moon Circles Facilitator, and am trained in leading women’s circles. While my studies have spanned science and art, it feels freeing to finally focus on art: not only for exhibition, but also to share with you.

There is beauty in exploration of the self, and I am filled with gratitude that my journey has brought me here, to a time when I can share the wisdom I have gained with others. Let us play, laugh, chat, clap, dance, gather, and collage: let’s make art together!
