About me
Practice and education
Art practice
In my art practice I am drawn to the harmony and balance I find in the natural world. To connect my work with this beauty and harmony I create my palette with natural materials. I am drawn to the deep symbolism and meaning that pervades nature. It shows me that there is a hidden world behind what we see, one that I feel closer to when I reimagine and recreate natures forms, shapes and contours in my work.
Education
I started my training in the Netherlands. I undertook a Chef training at the culinary institute of Utrecht and graduated in 2004.
In 2019 I graduated from the highly prestigious Master Chef training program in Innsbruck, Austria.
I trained under a variety of Masters in different art and crafts, before I decided to pursue a Masters degree at the Kings Foundation School of Traditional arts in 2019. I graduated in 2021
