About Me:
Happiness
“Paint when You’re joyfull & the happiness You feel shall overflow into the Heart of the observer.”
Healing
“Be a Lighthouse”, shining Your Light right into the dark.
Sometimes God sends people to Light the way ahead . A lady named "Lucia", meaning: the Light-bearer, embelished her summer home with this aquarelle.
She embelished Our Hearts with Her friendship.
Hello to the Chech Republic👋 . Thank You, Lucia!
“USS Arizona”, American warship that sunk
at Pearl Harbour during the Japanese invasion. Sometimes the best thing to help You heal is to sink deep into Your talents. This warship aquarelle is now healing an ex- mariner, a lover of navy vessels
who waited for a number of years for someone
to paint his favourite ship. .
“Trawler returning Home full”
the faithfull fishermen;
that’s the rule.
Faith
“Guided by Faith & not by sight”
We sail & walk, We swim & fly
“Ocean Dawn” - a family Home
where Brighton’s best are put to the test
Sailboats of
Hope
"Return to Mother port" - an aquarelle commissioned as a retirement gift.
Size: 40x50 cm
"Regatta" - from "Back to safety" series 2023. Aquarelle placed under glass,
in a beige wooden frame.
Size: 30x40cm
"Sails down" - an aquarelle painting
to celebrate a Father-Son reunion
after 10 years separation.
“Waking up” - an airbrush I did, destined for the bin,
but Daniel arrived & now it’s all clean.
He welded a frame surrounding the kiss,
creating an image so full of bliss.
The message is clear;
hold on a bit more,
Tomorrow true Love comes,
knock-knock at Your door.
Love
“Isn’t it funny
when two halves meet,
completing each other
in a Heart-beat?”
“Nicodemo”
An actor, a singer, a saint?
Your name brings a story
I’d Love to paint.
His Biblical name inspired me to create a portrait of a saint. Lilies at the bottom right suggest his name - Giuseppe (Joseph)
Portraits
“Queen & her Princess”
a Mom & her daughter.
Bring me the paints
& I’ll fetch me some water.
Family Love is my favourite topic,
the world may grow colder,
but I’ll never drop it.
Love Bug & her owner posed for this lovely triple portrait to create a lasting memory
for his grandchildren.
Aquarelle came natural as a preferred technique since I was taking a light, summer photo-shoot
I Love painting car enthusiasts,
it gives me the privilege to document the appreciation of automotive Beauties, the Love of movement, the freedom & true vintage enjoyment of Life.

Special Memories
Hair salons & Beauty parlours
cherish wall murals
as an important part
of their business spaces.
Beautifull visuals attract & encourage
clients to use Your beauty services.
The wall murals on this page
are decorating a beautifully restored
Hair Salon “Kika”.
This mural project took 3 days
to be completed
& I used black ink with acrylics.
The size is 2x1m & 2x0,5m
I will gladly make one for You :)

Musical Instruments
Starting 2013 (& counting) We do musical instruments restoration. Guitars are given their glory back - then donated to children & adults who can't afford to own one.
If You would like to donate an instrument & make someone happy, please contact us: voxceleste7@gmail.com & We'll arrange a pick-up.
You will be rewarded with a "Thank You" artwork from our atelier.
Art Photography
Wedding Photography
Since 2003 I work as a professional Wedding photographer.
My speciality is arranging photo sessions at castles,
around vintage cars & motorcycles, sailboats & planes.
I tend to engage the married couple in a fairy-tale of their own, without too much intervention.
I prefer miracles over mediocracy and give my best to save
those special moments in photo-books, as tales are kept.
Once chosen as Your Wedding photographer,
I’ll arange a variety of different settings for You,
in a place You Love most.
The photographs are taken at Your family home, the church and at the wedding celebration
+ a special Fairytale edition of Your choosing where You will be allowed
to Tango on the roof of a theatre
or be taken away on a back of a Harley.
You will receive Your Wedding Day photo-book
& a DVD with all the photos taken on
Your special day,
within a week.
The limited edition church calendar on Your left was made completely from scratch.
I photographed all the church details I fell in Love with
& then played with contrast in letters & dates.
Amazing fact - once presented to the church elders,
they didn’t recognize it was their own church.
It was so beautifully captured
It made them look at it with fresh eyes.
Graphic Design
Graphic design saves culture.
It’s ability to multiply information
actually saved this tower clock
from being turned electric.
The poster on Your right
was our successfull campaign
of keeping London’s St Peter’s church
tower clock genuine, hand wound.
You’re looking at the only original
19th century turret clock
operated by human power
in England.
No, not even Big Ben does that.
Another great feature graphic design offers is applying art to any media.
Here, I have applied my art on many industrial products that we use every day
.
Why not wear Your art?
Drink from it, shower behind it,
print it on Your phone.
You can even be covered by it at night!
If You have an artistic idea
& You’d Love to put it to use,
email me.
I’ll be glad to help You wear Your Art

Custom pastels
Vintage wheels series
2013 is a special year to us. Another thing special are vintage wheels. The curves, the beauty,
the Heart & Soul.
The best media to represent the soft & mellow vintage era is dusty dry pastel colours.
These two artworks are currently in private ownership, London, UK.
Had enough?
Custom Motorcycles
“Triumph T1”, a commisoned artwork
I did for a piston-head named Julian.
The technique is acrylics on canvas
and this artwork comes from a series
of “Thank You” canvases.
This particular artwork was made as a sign of appreciation to a fellow biker.
It is kept in private ownership, London, UK.
“Prague Chopp” is another acrylics on board artwork, from the same series.
This time I envisioned a dreamy atmosfere,
with houses in the background dancing
around a customised chopper
on the streets of Prague.
This artwork is owned by a well known Canned Heat bassist, David Gordon Bass.
Custom Motorcycles
the real deal
2012 We started a custom motorcycle business, MotorcycleDragon.
We used the 1980ies cutting edge Suzuki GSX 750's as molding clay to build chopper & bobber motorcycles.
The main idea was to create moving artworks. Masterpieces of agility, beauty & performance. An artwork You can ride.
Since We don’t want to create more waste - We recycled everything from metal shower head hoses to washing machine drums, even computer monitor stands - that You would never find on our bikes unless We told You.
Besides customising the hardware, We also did airbrush, pinstriping & lettering on our bikes.
Our motorcycles went on several exhibitions
& won sponsorship
by the local tv-broadcaster.
Eventually, We were called to move to England & continued there.
St Peter’s clock
2013-2015 We were working on the restoration of the last 19th century hand-wound church turret clock
found in the tower of St Peter’s church, Brockley - London.
The mechanism was badly damaged & St Peter stood in silence for 10years
Thanks to my husband, the leading engineer, September 2013 the bells chimed again & the whole neighnourhood came to Life.
We got included into worship ministry & since then have two albums of Christian Worship songs recorded.
Lewisham Micro Library
2013 and counting We started a bookshare project, together with our friend, Sebastian Handley - an architect.
The idea started as building a free library inside of a disused red K2 phonebox, a very British landmark.
7 shelves were added to the phonebox - transforming it into London’s first micro-library.
A book is Your currency here & if You want to
use the library - simply bring a book
to replace the one You took.
Up until today - We have given interviews to Spanish, Russian, Sweedish and many other media, spreading the fact that books really do change lives, people, neighbourhoods.
The project won the “Point of Light” award in 2014.
I spoke to many Art students about Lewisham Micro Library
and one of them actually made a smaller version. You can find it in front of the Academy of Arts, Trsat, Rijeka.

The Lantern
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father
which is in Heaven.”
Matthew 5:16

made for my Mom.
