“I‘m proud to have worked with the Foundation of HSH Prince Albert II during the first year of my PASSION SEA association. Then I continued on my own, focusing on the educational goal of my work.”

“I consider myself lucky to have been born in the rural area of Bavaria. My childhood was spent surrounded by nature, with my garden, forests, meadows, lakes, and rivers serving as my playground and the plants and wild animals being my constant companions. However, as I grew up and traveled throughout Europe, I learned how different cultures could shape one’s way of living. Thanks to my family’s support, I was able to learn multiple languages during my childhood and go to university to study the history of art and the economy. The highlight of my life was becoming a parent to Fiona and Sandro, who eventually became my closest friends. I raised them to be open-minded, respectful, and grateful, with lots of love.”

“During my marriage to Swiss watchmaker and jeweler Yves Piaget, I was exposed to the glamorous world of high-end timepieces and jewelry. I traveled the world promoting Piaget’s exceptional pieces and had the opportunity to meet royalty, artists, musicians, and other VIPs. As Piaget was part of the Richmont group, I had the chance to study the brands, Cartier and Van Cleef. I realized that high-end jewelry is often inspired by nature, such as Piaget’s rose, Cartier’s panther, and Van Cleef’s four-leaf clover. These pieces are masterpieces in themselves, with elements from nature transformed into beautiful works of art. It’s important to keep our planet healthy and clean so that future generations can enjoy its treasures and resources.”

“Moving from Switzerland to Monaco introduced me to HSH Prince Rainier III of Monaco, who gifted me Monaco Citizenship. His son HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco, today’s Sovereign is known as the environmental Prince. His Foundation is actively working for the health of the Oceans. Thanks to his initiatives and living next to the Mediterranean Sea I became aware of the pollution threatening our blue heritage. With Passion Sea, a non-profit organization, I want to help our Blue Planet to become more respected.”

“My daughter Fiona has been a big help in my association. A few years ago, we created a worldwide art competition for children focused on the importance of clean water. The best artwork was published along with words of wisdom from royalty, artists, and scientists, all advocating for water preservation. The title of the book was “Water is Life, Thoughts of Our Generation.” I am particularly proud of Fiona’s involvement and her belief that art is a powerful tool for communication and can stimulate both sides of the brain, especially for children during their developmental years.”

“The first event I organized for Passion Sea in Florida with Andrea Bocelli and his wife Veronica showed me the importance of involving celebrities in raising awareness for environmental issues. As Nelson Mandela said, education is the key to changing the world, but without passion, nothing can be achieved. That’s why I created Passion Sea, as well as flags, cameras, and books to help children understand the importance of respecting the planet and each other. We organize Golf charity events as well. I believe that art and humanitarian endeavors can work hand-in-hand to create exponential change.”
