The auction takes place untill the 3rd of january, 2011. I hope that Oktober, the alabaster sculpture I offered for the auction, will raise a lot!

2010.11.15 Delftse Open Atelier Route
During the weekend of 13 november a lot of artists in Delft opened their doors for the people. With "Het Stadsfort", a collective of young artists in Delft, I joined this open studio event in an exhibition in the Kanaalweg. Thirteen local artists exposed their work: Eliza , Maaiky , Bart, Jessica, Peter, Moos, Vincent, Yannick, Anne, Helen, Joost, Lemke and me. We showed paintings, photo's, silkscreens, lamps and sculptures. It was the first time for me showing my stone sculptures to the outside world! We also made a coffee corner (with homemade cake and pies) and a little shop with nice little artpieces made by the artists. And live music in the afternoon! The weekend was a big succes! I can't wait to join again! We will try to organize another exhibition, hopefully in a few months. It was so very nice!
