ADA WOLPE (1921 – 2004)

It is the second half of the 20th Century…

…… and the artist sits in her studio in the Swiss mountains finishing another of her vibrant, inspired paintings. This one is of flowers – magical, colorful, robust. The artist – who signed her work simply as Ada – shunned publicity and worked hard to earn a living as she quietly painted and painted – her work collected by international and local collectors.

Ada’s source of inspiration was her deep, enduring love for life and this flowed from her hands into her work. Drawings, sketches, paintings, people, faces, flowers, each a world unto itself.
