Sibyl and her family live in the picturesque Swiss mountain resort of Klosters. Having lived in different areas of Europe, here she found the place for her to grow old.
Just before Christmas 1974 she started painting pictures more or less out of the blue and was overwhelmed by the unexpected success. Encouraged by this, she created more and more paintings which looked like fairy tale scenes, but show mostly the real life in Klosters. Within a year a publisher specialized in greeting cards and art prints was interested. With the publisher came the fist exhibitions. Then she was asked by UNICEF to donate a card for their Christmas program. Soon after came a series of calendars, a story book and a couple of art-prints of the most successful pictures.
