KATJA SCHNEIDER

I have had trouble calling myself an artist.

I see the world and sometimes the world sees me.

I am saddened by mass production.

I enjoy the simple things in life , that were by no means created in a simple way.

taps, pens , paint brushes , paper

images re-produced

images taken of the perfect life then used as a banner of all that we could  be....

but some-how need products to obtain.

I am lifted to new heights by simplicity

sweat, tears and laughter

campfires and guitars.

Hope is the rain that falls when there has been nothing but draught.

Faith is the current that guides a tired raft to shore.

Happiness is when you're smiling and you don't know why.
