I am a New Jersey, USA based photographer and often use my photographs as a starting point for new work in printmaking, video and work with textiles.
Lately I find flowers, their quick transformation and short lifespan very appealing to work with. There is a great affinity with flowers because not only was I born in The Netherlands and always surrounded by an abundance of them, they also allowed me to work in isolation during the pandemic years. Just before our society closed down I was all set to start a project of photographing people in crowds. Shifting my focus to flowers allowed me to continue to work during lock-down.
