This extraordinarily versatile artist was born in 1877 in Mainz. She grew up with musical parents and famous ancestors. She dedicated herself in to her musical gift – as a talented pianist. As a mature concert pianist the physical strength required made excessive demands on the artist. Vala took up painting as a career after she had to give up being a concert pianist due to health reasons.
