Maria Innocentia Hummel achieved worldwide fame as a wonderfully talented children's painter whose sketches, drawings and paintings form the basis for the figures and relief articles named after her through the congenial interpretation of the artistic team from the Hummel Manufaktur.
She was born in Bavaria in 1909, and even as a child she showed her great creative talent.
In 1927, at the age of 18, she enrolled as a student at the Academy of Applied Arts in Munich. Here she met two Franciscan nuns from the Convent of Siessen in Württemberg. Her friendship with the two sisters and the idea of combining art and religion in her future work led Berta Hummel to a decision to spend her life in a monastery and she joined the convent in April 1931.
