Inga Roemer was born in Berlin, Germany. During her studies under Silvia Baechli and Franz Ackermann (Karlsruhe, Germany), she attended exchange programs in Bratislava, Slovakia and Limerick, Ireland. Travelling through different countries and cultures is an important part of her work as her work draws an immediate connection to her life-experiences: she paints out of memory or takes structures from photographs. Through the layering of her strucures she develops space. An adventure for the observer's eye to discover new worlds from layer to layer. She sees her work as a puzzle made out of fragments of the world we are living in. As she brings them to a new context she shows the multi varieties of this world, ultimately producing new worlds with them. Inga started the Graduate program at the University of Victoria in September 2004.
