As a child, I often embroidered with my mother and grandmother, and working with textile remained an interest in my life. I started exhibiting my work at the urging of a painter who was impressed by my creations. From 2020 I devoted myself entirely to my craft.

I create something new with elements that I gather from different cultures and from the past. Not only materials and tools, but stories as well. I find inspiration close to home, at a Brussels flea market that I have been visiting since decades, but also amongst others in Africa, Brazil and India.

Apart from the creative process, I adore sharing my ideas with others. I personally do not see the sense of staying in your workshop all the time. I need to meet people and exchange experiences, this is what keeps offering me fresh perspectives.

The finishing touches are extremely important to me, I cannot stand any loose threads or other small flaws in my work. It has to be just right, down to the last detail. I have often been told that I should be less of a perfectionist, but that is tough for me. I always give it my all.
