This is my ode to the flappers of the 1920s.
These ladies looked glamorous and were also free-spirited. They cut their hair short, wore short dresses and fur coats and smoked cigarettes out of cigarette holders. They also danced the Charleston until their feet bled and only came home when their dark make-up had run and the pearls from their pearl necklace had bounced on the floor.
The work is a collage of paper with drawing-like elements. The fur coat is made with a technique in which you rub charcoal over a rough surface. I then copied the resulting pattern to avoid stains and cut it to suggest the hairs of the fur coat.
The lady looks somewhat haughtily ahead, gracefully holding up her cigarette holder. Her lips are pursed.
Materials; coloured paper, cardboard, found paper, fineliner, charcoal

My work distinguishes itself by strong colours and clear shapes. I work with ecoline, ink and pencil, but I also like to cut and paste.
I get my inspiration from nature and like to daydream. Animals and people sometimes seem to melt together in these reveries.
Besides my children's book 'Emilie and the Bear' I also like to make illustrations based on what I see in the city: people in the park for example. The corona crisis has also influenced my work.
You can often spot me drawing in the park, in a café or on the beach.
