I am a tao alchemist, a photo-,visionary and digital artist; a spontaneous awakening (kundalini) a rebirth and transformation that reshaped both my life and creative path was the disruption of my early career and led me to confront my shadow self-part and heal childabuse past trauma which became a selfhelp journey and quest for the Higher Self, being a light to myself.My foundation is rooted in self-taught most of the time,in still photography on film sets, in black-and-white labs, and only briefly in commercial advertising besides other works.I collaborated with the Henry Boxer Gallery in London, and my work has appeared on international book covers.Since 2021, I was building on nearly two decades of photo editing, namely Photoshop. My non-conformist approach led to *Kniff Art* (2016 -), a pure surrealist automatism and flow-state practice transforming formless digital imagery into imaginative compositions and new forms—beginning with a kind of visual “nothingness”.Working also outside commercial structures allowing experimental exploration before AI became mainstream.Since 2023 I’ve engaged in AI-gen expanding with surrealist text automatism and beyond 'refining' what needed to be refined.My art emerges as an expression of my human experience through the 'lens' of a solo artist.This includes also economic disadvantages and restrictions based on simply being a non academic unmarried childless artist;

Manly P. Hall, a 20th-century mystic and philosopher, taught that the awakening of KUNDALINI—the dormant, coiled energy at the base of the spine—is a transformative process that alters consciousness, leading to the creation of NEW FORMS, both in terms of inner spiritual experience and outer creative expression. TIMELESS WISDOM OF ALL AGES This event was a rebirth, an end to suffering caused by a childhood sexual abuse about which nobody wanted to have anything to do with.It caused the liberation from my former family and gave way to a new beginning.This way I could get to know this and other worlds.I learned about the socalled interconnection beyond the technical, the source energy connection and origion of life and creativity, the essence which drives my works and daily life.As I had no real formal training in the creative professions my whole activity arises out of the Self.While some may still lay in waiting to raise consciousness I am already there.

It is enjoyable yet when it comes to earning a living from it this became more and more difficult and hard because of the internet. Suddenly I seen myself engaging in robotic or press button behavior instead of remaining grounded in my Deep-I.It is and was necessary that I sell my works because I have no other income.I am 60+ and already now I live below poverty line by european standards.If I am not allowed to profit from my art then the system only exists to milk and exploit and being woman in art means less or disadvantaged especially if not married and childless, thus not fitting the social expectations and established norm; although there is a worldwide drop in fertility rates there is still a stigma attached to it as if one would not have done enough to deserve any better.

All generative (“procedural”) techniques available in media software are “digital art'' It’s another version of an old gatekeeping argument about purity, authenticity, and technical mastery to state that artworks that involve writing computer code qualify as “digital art” while artworks created using Photoshop or other media applications do not. _ quote Inside Photoshop by Lev Manovich .This is one of the few good statements I found recently resonating with my own perspective on this matter.
