About Me
| Your pronoun | her |
| Introduction | I enjoy to notice that people always recognize something of the internal person in my sculptures. That means that I can make thoughts and feelings visual and uniform for people. During my éducation in Belgium I have had the opportunity several times to join an experimental group where I could apply my ideas situ. |
| What I Love about Ceramics | I can express my feelings, my mood. |
| How I started with ceramics | When I went to an art school in Belgium, to pick up a friend. When I came into the studio it felt like coming home. The smell of clay… Â It’s like I realized that was a moment were I could change my live. It’s like I missed something. So I went to the art school and followed their program for 9 years. Learned a lot of technics. But what I also learned from my teacher John van Oers is to look carefully, make the right choices; what is your purpose, what is the message. I loved every day of it. |
| What inspires me | That’s a lot. |
| What I'm working on at the moment | Expressing my experiences with other people in a sculpture, It has to do with passing borders. |
| My Artist Statement | My interests are; human, nature and thoughts. |
