Catherina is a Dutch textile and mixed media artist, who has recently moved, temporarily, to Valencia in Spain.
Her home is however based in Hertfordshire, where she has lived for the last 19 years and where she has been actively engaged in various art groups, regularly exhibiting her work and occasionally giving talks and workshops.
Mental Health, the power of meditation and the therapeutic effects of practising creative arts are of great importance to her.
Catherina’s outlook on life is quite philosophical, which is often expressed in her work through the use of symbolic ideas and imagery, supported with text.
She likes to work in a wide variety of fibre art techniques, preferring to employ methods which best suit a particular concept or idea she wants to bring across. Although she recognises the value of specialisation, she prefers to always keep her “options open”.
