Mirjam is a Dutch textile artist creating organic embroidery. She is inspired by nature, especially by its patterns, colours and textures.
Her favourite techniques are embroidery and crochet, often applied intuitively. The stitch process is in many ways an organic process in the slow development of the stitches on the fabric and the way they adapt and respond to their environment (the fabric) and each other.
Sharing her work, process, knowledge and experience with others, through social media and digital platforms is what makes her happy.
