Petra Daecke
I endeavour to communicate not only the visual rhythms and patterns of a place, but more importantly a feeling or spiritual atmosphere, always aiming to inspire people to reconnect to nature and its life-giving quality.
I was born and raised in Germany and live now on the Gold Coast in Australia since 1988. My extensive travels have taken me through many countries with a diversity of vegetation, climate and cultures and I always love to learn and explore more.
From my own experience, spending time in the natural landscape allows me to reflect; it restores my energy and brings peace and wisdom through opening my senses to my surroundings.
In today’s busy world with all its challenges, having beautiful paintings of landscapes on your walls brings nature right into your home.
