Linda Welvaert

I was born in 1958 in Oostburg in the Netherlands, currently i live in a beautifull town called Maldegem in Belgium.

I am maried with Patrick and we have toghether a very well working business. 20 Years ago i started painting on silk and after that i got interested in paiting on canvas as well. Because i lost my daughter in 2007 i wanted to do something else. I started working with clay and that give me a lot of peace and a calm mind.
I had classes for 5 years in the ‘Hilde Pintelon’ school in Knokke, they helped me figuring out what i wanted to do with art. My inspiration and passion for modeling men with longe robes and big hats i got from my daughter. For some sculptures i make i love to work with metal constructions who then wear the ceramic men.
Also materials like natural stone ans marmol are a very nice combination with my work..
