Wynske de Jong

She loves learning techniques and crafts and combining them. Such as felting, painting, photography and more. This creates diverse work. Each work with its own appearance and atmosphere.
She draws inspiration from nature and her environment. The sea, a landscape or, for example, a composition of lines right in front of her door. And also details and structures. Something that catches her eye and whose beauty amazes. “It’s amazing how beautiful things often are in themselves and how ingeniously everything is put together in nature.”
The color palette she works with consists of natural colors with accents of black, a touch of gold or ocher yellow. Although the work often looks tranquil and austere, she tries to ensure that the work breathes a certain energy, something of life on the surface.

Since 2008 she has had a studio in Akkrum, Friesland, www.wynske.nl. And she has mainly focused on the technique of felting. This resulted in the production of felt wall hangings. She alternates felting with periods of painting.

In 2020 she graduated from the Friesland Art Academy.
