Our home and  almost all it contained including our family history, our furniture, our car and my years of artwork and materials – all taken in a matter of moments in the catastrophic floods in the Ahr Valley, Germany.

WE NEED HELP

I have created a donate button.

We only want to somewhere to call ‘our home’  where we can safely live and I can create art again.

Thank you!
