Christa was born in Stuttgart, Germany in 1943. Art was soon her favourite subject but due to her fathers early death and financial constraints, she was unable to study at University and instead embarked with a secretarial career.
She cam to England in 1964 and attended various classes for drawing and painting. For several years she made collages, and it was this 3 diminsional form of art which started her interest in sculptures.
In 1983 Christa attended a sculpture course by Major Tugwell/Judy Cousins, learning also mould making and casting in bronze resin. For many years she shared a studio with Judy Cousins and three other painters and sculptors. She also joined classes at a local Adult Education Centre where she made porcelain and terracotta figures.
