I have a education in weaving, designer of curtains, furniture fabrics. Weaving is warp and weft. Later on I translated warp and weft to other materials like paper, perspex, paintings, 2- and 3 dimensional. Structure and rhythm are elements that are common in my work always with a certain tension.

exhibitions from 1980, several galleries, Singer Museum Laren, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, KunstRai Amsterdam, Hilton Paris.
