Isabel Mertel : Artist & Art Therapist

About

As a Painter and Art Therapist I feel very drawn to colour, as well as I do to sound and to nature. My inspiration emerges from being in nature observing and listening to the language and qualities within the elements.

My passion for painting was leading me to the study of Art and Art Therapy in Germany between 1999-2003. From then on I worked with adults and children in therapeutic and educational contexts.

In 2012 I moved from Germany to New Zealand to live with my partner and became a mother. I am living in the South Island of New Zealand.
