Born
as the daughter of a master goldsmith, G.H. Rothe grew up at
Wiedenbrück a small town in the heart of Germany.
Her first training
was of a technical kind consisting of the drawing and goldsmithery
practiced in her family.
Shortly
after finishing her studies of painting and art history she was awarded
with the Villa-Romana-Prize which enabled her to live and work in
Florence, Italy for a year.
Her study trips included Paris, London,
Vienna, Moscow, Madrid and Uruguay before she settled first in New York
and later in Carmel, California.
Museums
all over the world appreciate her work. She masters nearly all
painting techniques but for the most suitable form of expression her
choice is the technique of the mezzotint which is centuries old,
skillfull and rarely used.
