Katharina grew up in a small town in East Germany. It was a magical place that captured her young impressionable, and imaginable mind. She named trees, bushes and hiding places which she remembers by heart. “It is a world with scents and sounds that could only be found in nature. A world where gnomes, fairies and kings resided,” she believed.

After completing her university and working for years in Berlin, her curiosity and wanderlust, armed with courage and confidence, let her explore the world beyond Germany. Following the wind, she traversed the world to explore diverse cultures and learn from some inevitable nearly-extinct traditions.

Katharina is passionate about art and craft using organic materials found abundantly in nature. She is a certified Early Childhood Educator and is inspired by the words from William Wordsworth, “Let nature be your teacher.” She furthered her knowledge and became a certified Forest and Nature School Practitioner through the Child & Nature Alliance of Canada.

When she is thinking of Terra Nova, Katharina likes the wind. She moves boundless in her journey in life. Not a strong wind, but rather a gentle breeze just enough to listen to the faint rustling of leaves.
