After receiving the MA in history of literature and linguistics and working more than 15 years in the computer industry Voegtle began to carve wood in the late 90's. Extensive travels to southeast Asian countries influenced her early art style. Especially drawn to transforming the overwhelming ornamentation of temples and other places of worship into her own imagery she began to explore the figures of Asian myths, incorporating them into her wood carving, later into her paintings on silk canvas, scrolls and silk carvings.
These days Voegtle's work is concentrating on paintings on silk and rayon which are still using fragments from her early explorations but also themes from nature and society. Her work continues to travel the world and tries to reach people's minds.
Voegtle has shown her work all over the United States and Europe.
STATEMENT: I am a full time artist. I use brush, carving knife, camera lens and other tools for my work. I create art that tells a story, that moves, that seduces. Elements of traditional techniques and materials in new contexts are the recipe for my brew and through that hopefully recognized for its uniqueness. If I can create a dialogue with the viewer, using images from life in all its facets, I am content.
