"The in Friesland (Dutch Province) residing and working ceramic artist is renowned for her powerful and colorful ceramic art. For many years now, her ceramics can be admired at the borrow and sales collection of the Art Center 'Zaanstad' (the Netherlands). Brightly colored dishes and bowls, in austere design, are the distinguishing feature of this artist. It is striking how simplicity of style combined with the complex double sided design of her ceramic art noticeably strengthen one another." (Jan de Bruin - Director Art Center 'Zaanstad')

 

"Her monochrome bowls are characterized by an austere design, a bright color and an accurate finish. The starting-point of the design of all her bowls is a spherical shape. The inward or outward curved edges are also segments of a sphere. Sometimes she chooses a cylindrical shape or she chooses a flat plate:
"I love austere simple shapes. It's fascinating that by using the spherical shape, it's possible to create so many different designs". (Anneke de Maat - Residence)

 

"By using self developed, variable moulds, or by creating bowls out of separate poured parts, a piece emerges that is always a different shape." (Jet Mous)
