Born in Stuttgart, Germany in 1961, lived in Nuremberg from 1965 to 2000. Between 1980 and 1991 I studied Physics, Philosophy, Psychology and Art History at the Friedrich-Alexander University in Erlangen.
Interested in painting since I could hold a pen, I started things in earnest in the seventies, picking up knowledge from other artists, during a stretch as a guest student at the Nuremberg Academy of Fine Arts and various holiday classes. So I am more or less an self-taught painter.
Since 1984, I have exhibited locally and internationally.
Being interested in landscape painting, I was inspired by traveling in the USA, Mexico, Guatemala, Morocco, Nepal, India, Australia, Scotland, Spain, Italy, France, Turkey, and Norway.
Since 1987 I have been teaching private classes, in evening schools, and for the German manufacturer of artist colors, Schmincke Company
Since 2001 I have written various books about painting and drawing for the publishers "Englisch-Verlag", Wiesbaden and "Toppverlag", Stuttgart in Germany
Since 2000, I live and work in a former gothic monastery in Birkenfeld near Neustadt/Aisch. (http://www.manfredhoenig.de/english-version/biography/)
