BIOGRAPHY
Stefanie Eins

I was born in 1964 in Berlin, Germany. Now I live and work in Omaruru. I finished two Master's degrees: Fine Arts in Public Spheres, Academy for Design and Art, Luzern, Switzerland, as well as Fine Arts, University of Arts, Berlin. In 2014 I created the Art & Design Department at the International School of Walvis Bay, Namibia.
