Wasmuht was born in 1964 in Dortmund, Germany.
From 1983-1992 she studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in Düsseldorf, Germany.
She is currently based in Berlin. She makes paintings in oil paint on wooden boards, using many coats of varnish to add to the brightness of the colours. Her images consist of layered fictional environments that reference abstract painting.
The complexity of her latest work reveals that she uses a screenprinting technique with enamel paints that are oil-based, instead of painting the work by hand.
