About Me

ABOUT ME...

I studied graphics and painting at the Rietveld Academy Amsterdam and majored in portrait painting.

Until 1990 I illustrated children’s books.

In 1986 I first applied myself to ceremonial art produced in fiber.

From 2003 I started making jewelry out of waste and rejectables.

I try to form a bridge between the different disciplines.
