Secrets of Nature
“And the day came when the risk it took to remain tight inside the bud was greater than
the risk it took to blossom.” Anais Nin
This metaphor about change and fear of the unknown is what informs my present body
of work. I follow what interests me visually and emotionally, it means to be always
searching. Meaningful subject matter is ubiquitous and it is conscious observation that
allows me to translate my life experiences into making art.
The inspiration for the birch bark constructions came from my frequent hikes in the
White Mountains of New Hampshire. These pieces allow for individual interpretations
and offer the viewer an invitation to enter the work through the void. They read as a
metaphor for the human condition.
Born in Adenstedt, Germany in 1948, Gisela spent her formative years in Chicago,
Illinois. Her formal education earned her a Bachelor of Art in art history. After raising
a family she renewed her commitment to art by attending the Diploma program and the
Post-Baccalaureate program at The Museum School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Gisela currently works in her studio, primarily in oil paintings, exhibiting in the Boston area.
