Igrid Maurer lives now in Ubud on Bali, Indonesia. She is born in Germany, lived for many years in Califoria and moved to asia, recovering from worcalism, how she says.

When Ingrid arrived in the US from Germany in 1980, she met Rudolph Schaeffer of the Rudolph Schaeffer School of Design and Color in San Francisco. Schaeffer combined eastern and western philosophies and applied his rhythmo-chromatic color theory to many artistic disciplines, including Chinese pottery, Japanese shibori, silk-dyeing techniques, paper-making and book binding.
Another significant inspiration is the Asia-Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art (APT). Curator Doug Hall has been cultivating this art scene for 15 years and has an entire global archive in his library. Since December 2002 Ingrid has been developing an educational program that introduces clients to the APT.
