Karin Landmesser, born Baer, in Wesel, North Rhine-Westphalia, applied and developed her passion for creative writing over several years in a renowned art publishing house. During this time, she specialised in writing biographies of artists in the fields of painting and photography. With her sensitivity for the personalities of the artists, she succeeded in bringing their works and backgrounds to life in impressive texts. In addition to her novel "Verschlossene Türen-Schatten der Vergangenheit" (Closed Doors - Shadows of the Past), further publications are already planned, including a children's book. The author currently lives with her husband, a Labrador and a Golden Retriever near Marsberg in North Rhine-Westphalia.
