My passion for making glass beads started in 2004.
I’ve had classes from some very inspiring and professional people, including Jan-Hein van Stiphout (beginners class), Diana East (graphical design on beads), Julie Anne Denton (making sculptures in soft glass), Dora Schubert (stringer control) and Frans Meeuwsen (creative glasswork in boro silicate glass)
My inspiration comes from nature and fabric prints.
My education at the School for Fashion and the School for Graphical Arts has largely influenced my style in making beads and glass objects.
I am always searching for the right balance between shape, colour and light, and the interaction of fore- and background.
A creative process with experimenting and trying has passed before a bead piece of glass art or glass sculpture has reached the right balance.
In jewellery design, I prefer combinations of homemade glass beads with pearls, Swarovski crystals, sterling silver and/or other high quality materials to create my little pieces of art.
