ULRIKE, born in Salzburg, Austria, was always attracted to art and music. At nineteen she joined a Top40 band as a singer, worked as a tour manager and record promoter, and toured through Europe for ten years, enjoying the diverse cultures and freedom this lifestyle allowed her.
ULRIKE came to the United States in 1981. She worked in the Entertainment Industry for a major studio in Hollywood, California, for nearly 20 years. Her work included large scale events, including the World Stuntmen Awards, Hot 100, MTV Music Awards, Democratic Convention (4 events for Bill Clinton), Movie Premiers, TV Show wrap parties and Corporate functions. She also curated a monthly art exhibit at Paramount Studio’s Dining Room for several years.
In 2011, she left the studios and decided to write articles for inspirational magazines about her metaphysical passion, which she studied for many years. Over 80 printed articles and 5 published, inspirational books later, she continues to teach metaphysical workshops locally. From 2011 to 2013 she was also a contributing writer for the Los Angeles Examiner.
Even though her passion for painting and drawing started in early childhood, it was not until she moved to Palm Springs, California, that she finally fulfilled her dream of being a fulltime visual artist.
ULRIKE works mostly with acrylics and texture on canvas, enjoys collage work, paints whimsical 3D objects, and loves bright vibrant colors for her many nature and wildlife inspired paintings. In this artistically rich environment of the Coachella Valley she continues her creative journey. She is frequently featured in Galleries, Art Shows and Community Exhibitions throughout the region.
ULRIKE is one of the artists chosen for the Idyllwild Deer Project where her fawn Opal is part of the City’s installation. She was also elected to be an artist for the Heart for Hope Fundraiser, at Loma Linda Children’s Hospital in Indio, which was exhibited at Heather James Gallery and CODA Gallery, Palm Desert and raised money for this good cause. Two of her large paintings are permanently installed at the new Loma Linda Children’s Clinic in Riverside.
ULRIKE serves on the Board of Directors for the Artists Council. She loves the business side of art as much as the creative side and is responsible for member programs and communications. She also contributes her experience to all scheduled exhibitions and community outreach.
