about lisette

Fine and, above all, authentic energy is Lisette's guide. Colour her language. Balance her handhold. You feel that in every fibre on the canvas.

LOVE OF YARN

Because of its organic nature, Lisette has a great love for yarns. The material keeps moving, making it never completely controllable. Exactly like everyday life.

Lisette's style is her own. She 'paints' with yarn, ensuring depth, curves and details abound. Every time you look at her work, you see something new. And it's not just that: the various yarns and height differences encourage you to touch. Almost automatically.

Portraits and images that stir in a positive sense are an inspiration for the textile artist. She herself adds plenty of colour, mixing exuberant energy and subtle emotion. Her work is pure and explosive, but without excess. Powerful and soft at the same time. Her work is who she is.

TEXTILE

The main technique Lisette uses is tufting. She shoots, cuts and shaves, as well as likes to experiment with mixing other materials - like carpet or paracord. Or with other skills: crochet, embroidery and weaving, for example. Balance remains the benchmark.

Seen and felt

Works by Lisette have already been seen and felt in numerous places. At the Mauritshuis, for example, and during an exhibition by art collective K26.

You can even come across her textile art on moving pictures. In fact, Lisette was a finalist on the TV programme The New Vermeer.
