Recently she returned to the Netherlands and draws inspiration from her experiences and the many other countries she has travelled to.

The impact of her experiences resulted in developing her series ‘Earth’, a tribute to planet earth, being destroyed by humans rapidly. José works are mixed media and uses materials such as glass, sand, stones and paper. Often she creates a rough surface so the viewer can feel as one would experience in nature.
