Clarity through limitation.
Limit your palette

About the artist
Hi, I’m Birthe — a mixed media and collage artist based in Bremen, Germany.
With a background in art history and teaching, I’m interested in visual perception, composition and intuitive creative processes.
I work with vintage paper, limitation and visual balance to create layered collage compositions.
Through workshops online and in Bremen, I help others develop a calmer and clearer creative practice.
My work and collage tutorials are followed by a growing international community of over 60,000 people on Instagram and Facebook.
