Sigrid Johanna Schölch (1939-2011)
My grandma was a social worker and started painting when she took classes in her later years after developing a passion for it. Inspired by her yearly trips to Greece, she completed numerous landscape paintings, mostly abstract, that resemble her love for the country. I belive that with her bright colors she tried to capture the youth that was imprisoned inside her.
Overall, she sold one painting to a local nursing home in Heidelberg, Germany, while she kept the remaining exhibited in her house. As a purpose of remembering, her art work was split among relatives and friends after she died.
My grandma did crafts with my siblings and me ever since I can remember, and I looked up to her skills. I have always admired my grandma's ability to apply such bright neon colors on her canvas resulting in images with a simplicity that I could never establish.
