Born in 1967 in Hamburg, Katja Nordmeyer lives and B works in her hometown. Even as a child, she was enthusiastic about art and painting. Her father was an amateur painter interested in painters like Paul Gauguin and Franz Marc.

Katja Nordmeyer's career initially took her into the fashion world, but her passion for painting never left her, and she always felt that painting was what she was destined to do. This was followed by studies with the artist Lothar Schulz-Goldap, a student of Prof. Fritz Mackensen, co-founder of the Worpswede Artists' Association and director of the University of Applied Sciences in Bremen.Thus, Katja has proper training in portrait and landscape painting, which characterizes her early work.

Her interest in people's emotions led her to take additional training in NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) in 2013. n addition, the fascination that the basic emotions such as joy, surprise, fear, anger, disgust, sadness, and contempt are crosscultural, according to research by Paul Ekman (an American anthropologist and psychologist), prompts her to paint people of different origins & nationalities, thus showing the connectedness of all people.
