BTEC Foundation Studies Art and Design.After my study in England I opened a felting studio in Spain.
This studio has moved to The Netherlands. Since 2015 I run a felt and painting studio in Bussum.
My aim is to combine more disciplines and thus create new ways of expressing myself.
Statement about my felting art.
My feltworks are in the first place an interpretation of the overwhelming beauty of colours which I spot in nature. An artistic impression with my own aesthetic values as starting point. The intensity of colours in which felting-wool is currently available and the amount of modern materials to combine with, even as the possibility to dye my own, give me a tremendous opportunity to experiment.
Not only examining the work of other artists provides me with a wealth of knowledge but joining hands with local artists as wel is a welcome source of information.

I enjoy being involved in the IFA as well as the national and regional feltmakers association in the Netherlands.
