Meike Kohls was born in Hamburg in northern Germany. After study trips abroad to places like the South Seas, India, Italy and the USA, she set up her art studio in Hamburg, where she now lives and works.

"Layers with transparent effects are my main interest!"
Curvy shapes with a protective veil of plastic or another transparent material build a multi layer optical sensation.
