Visual artist and certificated stained glass craftswoman, specialized in glass painting and illustration.
“Glass fossils made from hand-picked plants melted into glass. Nature sceneries painted in stained glass. Textiles dyed with plants. A world full of flora, fauna and hidden folklore stippled onto paper.
From an early age I love to wonder and wander into nature, alongside and beyond the boundaries of reality. Its whimsical magic can be found in everything”
My journey
Thanks for stopping by. My name is Evelien. Born and raised in small village in The Netherlands.
Over the years, I have shaped myself independently, into a visual artist and illustrator.
The self-taught process, to work alone and in silence is essential to my work. For me it reflects a true inner process. Just as exploring an unknown path through untouched nature by yourself. An absent mind wandering through the quiet, and solitary wilderness.
During my study for professional stained glass artist, I managed to master the skills of old and new, traditional and professional techniques and specialized in (restoration) stained glass painting. I have been able to participate in the painting of stained glass restorations of several church windows.
Furthermore, linocut printing and developing my own plant dye for both lino printing and textiles dyeing have been added to my list of skills.
Drawing art have always been my ultimate passion. Learning old crafts is one of them too,
I love to weave these crafts and arts together.
