You can find me and my work at the following shows/events.
Current show/event
2025 10-17 October: Draad van verbinding, Hattem, NL
“Draad van verbinding” is een verbindend kunstproject waarin Hattemers door middel van handwerk en gesprekken samen nadenken over samenleven en wat ons verbindt. Door het maken van kleine textiele kunstwerken met een ‘verbindende draad’, delen deelnemers hun persoonlijke verhalen over wanneer ze zich verbonden voelen met anderen.
Deze kunstwerken worden tijdens de Kleurrijk Jezelf Zijn week (van 10 t/m 17 oktober) in De Marke tentoongesteld met daarbij teksten over wat verbinding voor de deelnemers betekent. Na afloop van de expositie worden de kunstwerkjes samengevoegd tot één verbindend kunstwerk.

Connecting threads: A wonderful project made with the inhabitants of Hattem (NL) young and old showing what connects them to each other and to Hattem.
Next show/event
