About me

Write about myself makes feel self conscious. The biographical parts are easy so I guess that is where I will start.

I was born in Bad Segeberg Germany, July 5th 1970 to Klaus and Doris Kuegler. The first five years of my life were spent in Nepal among the Hatitunga tribe. My sister Sabine and brother Christian were born in Kathmandu. In 1976 a change in government lead to the forced removal of all foreigners. We had four weeks to pack up our belongings and leave.

In 1978 we moved to the western part of New Guinea were I lived with my family among the Fayu tribe intermittently till I turned eighteen. Through a series of event I ended up moving to Cardiff, Wales right before my nineteenth birthday. During my two years in Cardiff I completed two A levels and was denied admission to the local art college. My work in their opinion was too immature. I was too discouraged to reapply.

After spending several years working in various places around the globe I finally moved to Hamburg Germany in 1992 where I started art college. After a year long battle with myocarditis I moved to the US in 1994 to continue my studies in art and psychology. I am blessed to be a mother of two boys and continue to work as an artist, writer and editor.
