Mili Weber

Mili Weber, full name Berta Emilie Weber, is a Swiss artist, illustrator, writer and musician.

From childhood, Mili showed an interest in nature and painting, with her older half-sister Anna being her first mentor. Mili attended the School of Arts and Crafts in Biel, where she later taught various arts and crafts subjects, she also studied at the Academy of Painting in Munich. From 1914, Mili began painting portraits of children, producing watercolor postcards with motifs from fairy tales and fables, and illustrating books. Her most famous images are of children among magical flowers. In addition to watercolor painting, Weber wrote short stories and composed music.

In 1917, the family moved to a picturesque wooden house built by Mili's brother and father on the edge of the forest near Lake St. Moritz. The most luxurious thing in this house was the organ on which she mused. Mili created her own wonderful world here: the artist decorated the ceilings and walls of the house with her marvelous frescoes of fairy tale scenes. She lived in this house all her life and now it is the home of the Mili Weber Museum, a "fairy house".
