4 Elements united in a school Art Project

This Autumn, we realized another successful art project at the local basic school. Inspired by nature and the four elements (water, air, earth and fire), we guided 40 children aged 9-10 through 7 weeks of wonderful highly creative weeks. The enthusiasm was big with them and the school staff alike. At the final day, the whole school could enjoy a great presentation about the project by the 40 students themselves!

This project was possible through financial support by the local citizen foundation or Bürgerstiftung Schmitten.

Thank you to all involved, with special thanks to my fantastic colleague Matthias Schmidt – wood sculpture: www.holzgestaltung-m-schmidt.de

Christmas Exhibition in Artnoumillenni Gallery Barcelona December 2021

2 of my ‘VENUS’ paintings are on their way to Artnoumillenni Gallery in Barcelona, to take part in their Christmas Art Exhibition held 15 – 30 December 2021!

The Venus figurines, highly admired prehistoric artifacts, are actually the very first representation of a female figure in an artistic way in human history. Being carved out of limestone, bone or clay during Paleolithic era, these tiny female figures are considered to be the first ‘portable art’, symbolizing fertility, security and success, the mother goddess. Women were prominent in this era, being central parts of the world view of those societies, and therefore of their artists.

I was very much intrigued by this concept and symbolic meaning. I applied ‘earth tones’ with oil paints and Italian marble powder in order to capture the beauty and resilience of these ‘primitive’ stone sculpture figurines. I hope to capture this feeling of pureness and raw beauty, admiring the great spiritual value of this amazing oldest examples of female figurines.

Atelier re-opening during Covid 19

Dear students and customers,

Finally, after over 6 weeks of closure of my atelier LindArt due to the Corona crisis, I can offer you again some painting fun in my atelier! Thank you for your patience and understanding.

In line with the current rules, we keep our distance of 1,50 to 2 meters, wearing masks, and when the weather allows it, we paint outside in the garden.

So relieved and happy that we can act upon our creativity again, although restricted.

Just give me a call and we arrange an individual appointment! Looking forward to you all!

Grundschueler bauen eine Arche als Rettungsschiff

Seit Mitte September arbeiten 40 Schueler der vierten Klasse an der Grundschule Reifenberg gemeinsam mit der Malerin Linda De Clercq und dem Holzgestalter Matthias Schmidt an eine Arche. Die Arche wird im Schulhof aufgestellt.

Unsere Thema ist ein Katastrophe… die Welt wird untergehen…Das ist der Ausgangspunkt unserer Zusammenarbeit. Die Arche ist ein Rettungsschiff. Sie hat nur begrenzt Platz. Was muesst Ihr unbedingt retten, was ist euch wichtig?”Als Rettungsobjekte koennen Mutter & Vater, Oma & Opa, beste Freund(in), das Haustier, aber auch Werte wie Freundschaft, Liebe, Mitgefuehl, Zuneigung mitgenommen werden.

Wir haben uns in verschiedenen kuenstlerische Techniken den Thema genaehernt: Leinwand, Farben, Pappmache, Holz. Die Kinder haben sich fuer das Arche-Projekt tolle Sachen ausgedacht und gestaltet.

Das Project hat der Schueler und die Kuenstler unheimlich viel spaB gemacht! Zusammen mit alle Schulkinder, viele Lehrer, Eltern und 2 Vertreter der Buergerstiftung Schmitten – die das ganze finanziert hat – wurde die Arche am 15 November eingeweiht!

KotK 2019 Rotary Exhibition highlights

I’ve enjoyed to be part of the KotK September 2019 (Kunst om te Koesteren) Exhibition at the Castle Cortewalle in Beveren, Belgium. The event has been organised by the Rotary Club Beveren-Waas. 50 artists were invited to take part. More than 500 works of art were on display! 30 percent of sold works and all other activities is used to support local and international social projects.

It has been a tremendous success and a worthwhile experience! I’ve enjoyed the talks and exchange of ideas with fellow artists, many visitors and art enthousiasts. www.kotk.be

I’m thrilled that one of my works “Indigo Beauty” has found a new home…
