Who am I? “Little Lotte thought of everything and nothing. Her hair was golden as the sun, her soul clear and blue as her eyes. She wheedled her mother, she was kind to her doll, took great care of her frock and her little red shoes and her fiddle. But most of all loved, when she went to sleep, to hear the angel of music” - I am an Ballet Teacher and I love to illustrate. My passion is to draw and paint little fragments of myself, my dreams, the things that make me feel ...me...
