My name is Karin Kiessling, I was born in 1971 in Landau, Germany.  After my study of pharmaceutics I started with painting and drawing, but unfortunately I didn't find much time for it because of my job.

In 2007 I fell ill with CFS, so again there was no possibility to spend time with my beloved hobby.

Finally, in 2012 my health improved a little bit, so I could start with some small watercolour paintings of flowers and animals.

In 2014 I began to draw portraits of humans and animals with charcoal (monochrome) or soft pastels (coloured) and liked it a lot. So I think, I've found "my" media to express my love of nature and to show the uniqueness of every creature, human or animal.
