e.wasserhase: From WHO Career to Dot-Painted Bark Art

artist · 2026-08-26

e.wasserhase, an artist from Hamburg and a former employee of the World Health Organization, employs a distinctive dot painting method on natural bark surfaces. Her artwork, inspired by the Year of the Water Rabbit in Chinese culture, embodies serenity and emotional equilibrium. Having lived in multiple countries, she turned to pottery and found eucalyptus bark, palm bark, and palm leaves to be ideal materials. Influenced by her practices in meditation and yoga, her creations consist of thousands of dots that form reflective compositions. Notable works include Emerald Buddha (Thailand) and Personam and Fluo 11 (New Zealand). She collaborated with her husband on 'Songs for Mother Nature – Art meets Poetry' and explores women's strength in her project 'Contemporary Amazons and Art.' Additionally, she designs products such as tiles and yoga mats, with her favorite piece being a large artwork titled 'Joy' made from palm bark.
