Résumé Reinharda Drijfhamer Dutch but living in the Dordogne, France. Websites : https://www.reinharda.com Reinharda Drijfhamer lives and works in France since after teaching art in ROC schools in The Netherlands for 22 years. Experienced Fine Artist with a demonstrated history of working in the arts and crafts industry. Skilled in Textiles, Fine Art, Printmaking, Acrylic, and Watercolor. Strong arts and design professional with a masterclass Academy of Fine Arts focused in Textile Drawing Painting & Design . She has exhibited work for more than 25 years in Holland and abroad: in Germany, France, Belgium, Spain, and Switzerland. Her studios are in a former railway station in the countyside of the Dordogne, and in Souillac. In the course of time she has added more and more collage elements to her painting, for example: feathers, paper, glass, coconut fibre, gold wire, and amulets resulting in an assembly of objects or panels, not only the fruit of experience, but drawn from collections made on her travels throughout the world. The different objects do not always belong behind glass, but are on a foundation that provides them with a context. The panels containing icons, handmade paper and poetry, gold leaves or countless multicultural objects and painting, sometimes with mystic or religious overtones, often seem to illustrate a cult that is springs from a culture yet to be discovered.
