Welcome To My Realm
Artist Statement
I am a visual artist and wearable artmaker based in the Netherlands. My work tries to capture the beauty of the fleeting and to give space to a more multi-layered vision of life. Rooted in a search for connection and resilience, I create drawings and wearable art that invite touch, presence, and a deeper bond with ourselves, with each other and our place in nature.
Full Story
I’m an artist inspired by fleeting thoughts, feelings, and experiences that so easily slip away. My work reflects on the contradictions of being human and of being a woman.
A recurring theme is finding roots. Stemmed in a great love for trees, I’m drawn to their connection and resilience, symbols of grounding in a fast, fragmented world. Making art is my way of staying present when the world feels like it’s burning.
Though I studied psychology rather than attending an art academy, art has always shaped how I relate to the world. My work as a psychologist and as an artist continually enrich each other, deepening my exploration of the relationships between inner and outer worlds.
While I work across techniques, drawing is my main medium as is the crafting of wearable art pieces. As I believe that art is part of living and it should be enjoyed as such, I make my drawings into custom garments as a mean to intertwine art and daily life even more.
My art often circles back to questions: How do we relate to ourselves, to each other, to nature? How much space can we take up, and how much should I? This is the space I’m holding. Welcome to this pocket of it.
