Biography
To create her unusual paintings Von Foerster uses a five century-old mixed technique of oil and egg tempera, developed by the Flemish Renaissance Masters. Although linked stylistically to the past, her paintings are passionately relevant to the present, as such timely themes as deforestation, endangered species, and war find expression in her work.
Von Foerster’s artworks are in collections around the world and have been featured in numerous publications, including 100 Painters of Tomorrow (Thames and Hudson, 2014). She was also the subject of a television portrait on ARTE's Metropoli,. Born in San Francisco, she studied art in California, Germany and Austria. After fifteen years in New York City, she now resides in Germany with her husband.
