The Austrian painter was born in St. Johann in Tirol in 1947 and has lived and worked in Vienna for over 20 years. She was awarded the Kölner Stadtanzeiger recognition prize in 1964. The autodidact and lateral thinker studied under Prof. Opperer and Prof. Otte (Salzburg) and Prof. Gerald Nitsche (Innsbruck). Three semesters of lithography & lithographic printing with Mag. Doz. Wojtek Krzywoblocki, Mag. Lebzelter and Mag. Dr. Kodera (Vienna) completed her training. Pichler's work impresses with its pioneering approach to sustainability in art. She is a master of the sensitive handling of already used materials and "created" art. An absolutely innovative, exemplary approach to creating sustainable "valuable" things with art. Object art became an important element of her oeuvre. Abstraction and figuration complement each other and form a harmonious whole. The color focus is on yellow, red, blue, white and black. Numerous exhibitions in Austria, Germany, Italy, Hungary and the USA.
