Well, you said it! I am a vintage junkie…I love the forms, intricacy, materials, love that went into creating antique or retro pieces…whether it is jewelry, decorative objects or clothing.
A twist of romance and kitsch just gets my juices flowing!
Nature also inspires me… anything floral.
My other life long passions are travelling, my partner and my friends J
The scene is divided into professionals and a growing number of hobbyists. Independent craft & design has found it’s way into the hearts and into the hands of many creative people during the last years.
Thankfully, designers and artists are becoming more and more individual. There is still an amount of copying going on –the greatest form of flattery they say- but new materials, unique designs and ideas are brewing and we at Whitebox support anything fresh and well made!
Sometimes I am guided by the practical, commercial side of my business and create limited edition collections for each season. For these, I am usually inspired by a theme and work around that.
But my fetish is creating unique one-of-a-kind pieces from original vintage components. I can spend a day working on a piece until I am happy…many times I am surprised myself by the outcome and how the individual pieces have guided me towards the completed design.
Flowers of all shape and form and the colors pink and green are signature themes of my work… somehow they find their way into all seasons and all collections!
I am usually very organized & quick at making pieces but sometimes procrastinate till the last minute!
