Antje grew up in Germany in a family where a strong emphasis was placed on being creative and making things with your hands.

Her education at a waldorf school gave her a broad exposure to creativity and a woking knowledge of many artistic skills. This is where the seeds of her approach to form were born and gave her the language that has been deeply embedded in her work ever since. 

While attending technical school, where she explored graphic arts and scenic design for theatre a chance encounter with a goldsmith exhibit lead her to a 4 year apprenticeship. 

Working with a master goldsmith honed her solid skills and is at the root of her precise and exact craftsmanship.

In 1988 a grant from the Carl Duisburg Society brought her home to Maine, where for the next 16 years she designed and fabricated anticlastic jewelry with Michael Good Designs.

In 2005, a 7 month emersion in New York city changed the course of her artistic journey.  

It ignited the desire to explore her own artistic expression and she took the leap of faith and set out on her own. 

Following her curiosity, she opened her eyes with photography, put her hands into clay and experimented with bronze casting. 

Called to a larger scale she applied all her skills to the creations of organic, flowing sculptures, including the 8 foot tall “Uprising” 

Ever expanding in her expression her work is taking flight and she is currently working on sculptural mobiles.
