Motherforce One: Participant Artists
Livia Sophie Ködderitzsch
Berlin-based oil painter and currently a mentee at Burnt Sienna Art School, Livia Ködderitzsch-Winkler works between realism and surreal interruption. Having begun with portraiture, her practice is increasingly moving toward the body as a central subject. Her paintings use distortion, doubled forms, fragmented features and strange bodily details to create images that feel at once familiar and unsettling.
As a mother currently expecting her second child, Livia’s current practice explores the female body as a site of visibility, vulnerability and power. Her work is shaped by questions around objectification, domestic roles, care, and the expectations placed on women’s bodies. In the context of Mother Force One, these concerns extend into a reflection on motherhood as something physical, complex and transformative — not only tender, but also demanding, strange, powerful and deeply embodied.

Venus Paez
Angela Venus Paez Cano is a twenty-five-year-old Venezuelan artist based in Berlin. Born in Caracas, she spent her childhood and teenage years in the south of Venezuela before leaving the country in 2018 as a result of the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
She began painting five months after leaving her homeland. During a period of emotional turmoil, painting and drawing became a source of refuge and a way of processing the experience of displacement.
Her artistic practice continues to evolve through an intuitive and deeply personal process. Her paintings function as emotional vessels: spaces in which inner narratives are externalised, translated and given form through colour. Through these works, she seeks moments of clarity, reflection and release, creating images that operate almost as prayers and suggest continuity, resilience and the possibility of becoming.
Paez Cano is drawn to timeless human concepts such as motherhood, the divine feminine, death and rebirth, captivity and freedom, stagnation and movement, and the relationship between light and darkness. These recurring themes are approached through a personal lens shaped by exile, memory, inner dialogue and emotional survival.
Allowing intuition to guide her practice, she embraces imperfection, instability and transformation as essential elements of the creative process rather than obstacles to it.
Stephanie Hamer
Stephanie Hamer (b. 1991, Manchester, UK) lives and works in Berlin, Germany. A self-taught artist, she was a resident at Burnt Sienna Art Studio in Berlin from 2020 to 2025. During this period, she also completed the London-based Turps Banana Mentorship Programme (2024–25). In 2026, she founded Kunst&Kritz, a constructive feedback programme supporting emerging artists.
In 2023, Hamer took part in several international artist residencies, including Buinho in Portugal, Herhúsið in Iceland and Gullkistan in Iceland. During these residencies, she began developing her ongoing series, Father Knows Best.
Her first solo exhibition, also titled Father Knows Best, opened in Berlin in 2025. Hamer’s work has been included in group exhibitions across the UK and Europe, most recently in L’Origine du monde, a group exhibition featuring Berlin-based women artists.
A selection of her paintings appeared in the 2024 feature film Ravens, directed by Mark Gill. Her work is held in private collections throughout Europe.

Hannah Turner-Duffin
Hannah Turner-Duffin is a British painter born in London and based in rural Brittany, France. She studied at Falmouth School of Art (BA Fine Art, 2007), The Prince’s Drawing School (now The Royal Drawing School, 2009), and completed a PGCE in Art and Design at the IOE, London (2014). She later attended the Turps Banana Studio Programme (2016–2018). In 2025, she was awarded a residency at Dumfries House through The Royal Drawing School. Her work is held in The Royal Collection and in private collections internationally, and she has exhibited widely.
Her practice expands painting through textile and printmaking processes, resulting in richly layered, tactile works that balance material experimentation with painterly depth.
Her work is centred on transformation and repetition, where paintings evolve through cyclical processes of making and reworking. Drawing on both physical and imagined landscapes, she uses plants and rocks as recurring motifs that carry associations of memory, folklore, and lived experience.
In her ongoing series Rocks and Flora, Turner-Duffin reworks pages from geology books into painted surfaces, merging natural reference with material intervention. These works explore painting as a space of accumulation and change, where surface becomes a site for holding both personal and inherited histories.

Jane Haycock
Jane Haycock is a British-Australian artist based in Berlin whose practice encompasses drawing, painting, photography and printmaking. Working with both water- and oil-based pigments and mediums, her work is rooted in the direct observation of nature. Her compositions favour asymmetry, organic forms and narrative structures over formal patterning.
Gestural mark-making is central to Haycock’s practice, reflecting a sensitive relationship between mind and body and an openness to intuition, chance and experimentation. Conceptually, her work considers the connections between place, memory and emotional response, using art as a means of understanding and navigating the environments she encounters.
After arriving in Berlin, Haycock became interested in the lakes and forests surrounding her home. Through frequent walks, drawing and observation, she began to recognise that these apparently natural landscapes were, in fact, managed, curated and, to a certain extent, human-made. The forests grew on a mountain formed from World War II rubble, trails originating in imperial hunts crossed through the trees, and a cemetery contained only the graves of people who had ended their own lives.
For Haycock, the landscape, like the city itself, is complex and layered with histories, memories and stories. Her work responds to these places and to the narratives embedded within them. Heart of the Matter emerged following a day spent drawing, observing and engaging directly with the forest.
Haycock is currently completing a Bachelor of Visual Arts at the Australian National University. In 2023, she was selected as a finalist for the ANU Drawing Prize, and in 2025 she participated in a mentoring programme at Burnt Sienna Art School in Berlin.
