 It's always a delight for a social creature like me to receive visitors and welcome new friends to my humble haim!
My name is Gisela and am proud to belong to the mighty Karling family as a distant niece of our emperor Carolus Magnus. Just like him, I am mad about ancient Rome, especially the divine arts and literature that hailed from this golden era! Luckily you just caught me while I was in, for I am on the road alot, having the privilege to work part-time at the Court School of Aachen as an illuminator. Different cultures I come to pass every day inspire me deeply! If you like, I'll show you some of my work sometime, but don't expect a 'Godescalc' or anything :).  I'm slowly working on my dream of opening up my own gallery, so hop in again 'soon'! Now I still wander the galleries of Art of AncientWorlds everyday! You can too by clicking this beautiful plaque Lilja Harfagri made!
 
If ever you would find me absent, you can safely leave behind all urgent messages in my shiny mailbox.
♥ Avatar: I created from Sandro Botticelli's beautiful painting: Young Woman (Simonetta Vespucci?) in Mythological Guise (1480/1485)
♥ Background: Gotomy.com provided me with this free marble texture
♥ My welcome tree in the entrance is derived from a Mosaic pavement from Khirbat al-Mafjar (740)
