biography

Peters grew up in Westerstede. She completed an apprenticeship as a tailor and initially worked in the profession in Hanover and Nuremberg. She then studied at the Hamburg University of Fine Arts and the Nuremberg Academy of Fine Arts .

She has lived and worked as a freelance artist in Bremen since 1958 and created most of her works of art in the 1960s and 1970s, which are often found in schoolyards.

Peters was married to the Romanian German journalist, writer and radio editor Bernhard Ohsam (1926–2001). Her husband died in 2001.
