Born as the daughter of a master goldsmith, G.H. Rothe grew up at Wiedenbrick a small town in the heart of Germany. Her first training was of a technical kind consisting of the drawing and goldsmithery practiced in her family.

Shortly after finishing her studies of painting and art history she was awarded with the Villa-Romana-Prize which enabled her to live and work in Florence, Italy for a year. Her study trips included Paris, London, Vienna, Moscow, Madrid and Uruguay before she settled first in New York and later in Carmel, California.

Museums all over the world appreciate her work. She masters nearly all painting techniques but for the most suitable form of expression her choice is the technique of the mezzotint which is centuries old, skillfull and rarely used. less
