From 1999 to 2000 she worked as a freelancer for the Berlin pages of the FAZ and in 2007 as a guest lecturer at the UdK in Berlin.

Alke Brinkmann's painting moves between the past and the present, social issues and one's own history, between politics and privacy. She paints pictures that touch, and thus animates the viewer to deal with things that one tries to avoid in everyday life.

Alke Brinkmann had solo exhibitions and was involved in group exhibitions at home and abroad, she illustrated books and designed stage sets. The exhibitions of her series Dead People , for which she was inspired by her mother's suicide, attracted attention in 1995 and 1996 .
