My name is Annienke and I’m a fiber artist based in Utrecht, The Netherlands. I completed my bachelor in Fashion Design at the Utrecht School of the Arts (proof can be found here), but through the years my work shifted from fashion and product design to fiber art. Working with textiles in fine art gives me room for exploration. In my wall hangings I experiment with shape and color, combining the softness of the threads with geometrical shapes. My embroidery work provides a medium for sharing more personal stories and helps me visualize my thoughts about the world.

I’m a lover of traditional crafts, cats, black coffee and thrift stores. I’m a perfectionist, but I see beauty in imperfection and I try to embrace the imperfections in my own work.
