A Life of Color and Texture
Ida Kerkovius was a Baltic German painter and weaver born in Riga, Latvia. Her artistic journey began with piano studies before she moved to a private school of art in Riga, where she developed an acute understanding of paint and color. This foundation led her to study at the Dachauer Malschule under Adolf Hölzel. Following her time there, she served as an assistant and theorist at the Königlich Württembergische Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Stuttgart.
