Living creatively and expressing this in clay puts me in a wonderful flow. The primal material clay connects me with nature and inspires me to create unique works of art.
My studios
Zeeland Happiness: In summer, I try to shape the power of the lush garden from the fertile clay of Zeeland.
Portuguese passion: In winter, I look for inspiration in the endless movement of the ocean and Portuguese ceramic culture.
A lifelong learning journey: In addition to my Master of Fine Arts, I continue to study the art of ceramics by working with renowned artists in both the Netherlands and Portugal.
"Happiness is made with our own hands."
Clay connects me to my heart and hands to seek and represent the essence of life.
In doing so, I experiment, struggle and trust my intuition to:
- capture loving connection in organic forms.
- translate endless movement into dynamic sculptures.
- ignite fiery passion in colorful glazes.
