Elvira Heimann lives and works in Hamburg and Bad Nauheim. She comes from an old French Huguenot family on her father’s side, where music and art were integral parts of daily life.
In 1975, she began studying art and music at JLU Giessen, Germany, later expanding her studies to philosophy, theology, and psychology. After a professional career as a Protestant minister and, from 1990 onward, as a clinical psychologist, she returned to art with renewed intensity 15 years ago. She has since deepened her artistic practice through ongoing education and master classes with national and international lecturers.
