Felting was a great discovery for me, fifteen years ago. I was already busy painting, sculpting and working with textiles. Felting unites all these aspects. Felt is made from wool and I use different types. I regularly paint them myself with plants and flowers. For every new project I look for the right types of wool, colors and materials. Felting for me is working with natural materials and a pleasant and relaxing activity.
Nature, news reports or personal experiences are the source of my work. I incorporate those themes in my works in different ways. It can result in “paintings of felt” or 3D sculptures on the same theme.

In addition to my autonomous work, I also make commissioned work. Because of my training as a designer I really enjoy working for a specific space, ofcourse in consultation with the client. It is nice to find a balance between boundaries (of space and wishes of the client) and the freedom of my work and ideas.
