I am interested in general weaving techniques and work on both analogue and computer-controlled looms, which give me different weaving opportunities. In recent years, I have taken up an old interest in botanical exploration and I dye my own materials, especially blue colours.

Weather phenomena such as rain, sunshine and the colour of the sky have long inspired my work with woven textiles. The weather unfolds in many ways throughout the year and creates for me a frame, a starting point and a colour palette that leads me in new directions.

I find my professional life a privilege! I enjoy working with my hands every day and being able to turn small threads into anything: 3-dimensional shapes, warm blankets, textile art, carpets or church textiles. Playful, curious and serious are words that describe my way of working.

An exclusive envelope with a totally unexpected travel grant gave me the opportunity to go on a trip to Japan. It had always been my dream, and it was a huge inspiration for me. Regular travels to Japan have become part of my professional life ever since.
