Artists Statement
Although I always was creative in my youth, after my textile Arts study I chose to work in mental healthcare.
My creativity was used to design and create children's clothing, organize crafting afternoons for my kids and their friends, and for artistic expression lessons on my kid's elementary school. When I started working in activity therapy for mentally handicapped I got in touch with creating ceramic objects, which fueled my desire to create.
I started making “Coral” necklaces until in 2008 I saw Virginie Ropars' “The Wasp Queen”. This style of dolls attracted me so much that I bought all needed materials and started sculpting.
I'm an autodidact. I create mainly so-called skull dolls, human-like figures with an animal skull. Sometimes these figures have an open skirt with a scenery inside, sometimes they have a dynamic pose or are automata. Even though the figures have an animal skull, a lot of people can identify themselves with the human emotions they express.
My work can be classified as Light Dark Art.
