Elisabeth Staimmer began her artistic education at the Munich apprentice workshop of Karl Caspar. She subsequently transferred to the Academy of Applied Arts and the classes of Richard Riemerschmid and Jaskolla, completing her studies as an independent painter at the Academy of Fine Art in Munich. In 1927 she married the artist Arnold Balwé. There followed numerous journeys with Balwé throughout the world, where she found the subjects for her painting. An unfailing sense of color and her unmistakable painterly style set the artist apart. Her work encompassed simple everyday life, representations of interiors and still life, in which she also portrayed her own domestic world. Elisabeth Balwé-Staimmer worked within her oeuvre using the techniques of gouache and watercolor painting.
