Apéritive – Limelight

During her education in Worpswede R. VOGEL-STELLING "found out how to free ecstasy, to free her characteristics, to make the canvas vibrate when painting on it" said Antke Bornemann, the convenor responsible for cultural affairs in the community of Lilienthal, on the occasion of an art exhibition.

R. Vogel Stelling paints on instinct. Only a few artists do so nowadays. She expresses her feelings in her paintings.

R. Vogel-Stelling is extremely engaged in painting, in eveything that is going on around her.
