(h)art of Weaving
What I do ...
I Weave the Essence of Life Visible.
I create unique & high vibrational art objects.
I work on site-specific projects in public/private interiors and commissions.
the themes of my art intertwine philosophy, history, colour theory,
sacred geometry and spirituality.
My use of light, rhythm & colour are designed to inspire a felt sacredness within (public) spaces.
My aesthetics are imbued with dedication to energetic empowerment, enrichment & alignment to Source.
May you discover with Joy!

Sketchings of my Hommage to Rembrandt van Rijn's heartwork:
HeartSong (2019) 90 cm ø
In hommage to Rembrandt van Rijn’s mastery, I pay tribute to the essence of ‘The Jewish Bride’ in a technique in which I strive for my own mastery.
I honour the shrouded sensuality and intimacy in this tender and daring portrayal of the connection between two lovers.
And have aimed to capture the textures of their declaration of love by weaving the contrast of their chaste gaze with the intimacy of their touch, visualising textures of affect.
