about.
My love for glass started in 2014 while visiting a glass-studio. Since then I have been deeply intrigued by the many manifestations of glass and eager to learn every detail. In the following two years I took classes with Ellen Prinse, Steef Hendriks, Dominique Steinmeijer, Frank van den Ham and JanHein Stiphout. In 2016 I wished to take my glass art to a higher level and I decided to study glass-art at the State Institute for Art & Craft (IKA), in Mechelen, Belgium.
Getting to know glass’ sometimes erratic character is essential to become friends and work together in harmony. Glass takes me by the hand and leads me through new experiences and highlights. ’She’ lets me feel a glimpse of freedom.
We all travel through life with our own personal history. What do we do with past experiences, past emotions and past knowledge? Do we seek to find a new path, more freedom or jump out-of-the-box? How do we build on what lies behind us? In this light I like to find my inspiration and investigate my own freedom.
Traveling is a way of life to me. I like the dynamic of it: meeting people of different back grounds and diverse cultures, but mostly I seek similarities in what binds us as human beings. While crossing the globe I find so many places interesting, but since I graduated in Spanish Language and Literature, South America is one of my favorite destinations. All these travel experiences give me a lot to think about and I try to translate them into my art work.
