One of Tina’s passions is food; she spent hours in the kitchen as a child with her Oma (Grandma). Tina worked in a kitchen while studying at art school. Then lived and worked in France at a Chateau catering for 30 guests each week while taking them on art tours and workshops in the countryside and serving picnics in crumbling down old churches.

Because Tina loves to experiment and share food so much she turned her love of food and art into The Food Artist and love of travel into hosting guests in a self-contained Bed & Breakfast.
