Elke Zinsmeister

I was born in 1963, in the south west of Germany, in an area called Saarland, where I spent many years of my life.

In 1998 I moved to Liverpool, where I studied Fine and Applied Art and went on to complete a course with Chelsea College of Art in London, specialising in Children's Book Illustration and Editorial.

I have been worked for The Bright Agency in London from 2003 to 2005, since then I have spent more time painting, developing large scale artwork.

I live with my partner Gerd, my daughter Zoe and our dog Moonie in Liverpool, and have lately taken a liking to knitting socks and baking my own sour dough bread.
