About Maartje
My name is Maartje van den Noort.
InĀ the first years of this century I studied graphic design and fine arts, both in Rotterdam. Before that I grew up in Zeeland, the lower part of The Netherlands. Since 2009 I live and work in Amsterdam.
Jubilation, is the big theme in my work. Glimpses of this I find in nature, friends, family and daily life. I try to find some of it every day. Often it finds me, without immediately knowing or recognizing it. When it is there, I often want to grasp it and hold on to it. Ofcourse It doesn’t work but the best way for me to come as close as possible is by creating images of the things that remind me of this Joy.
You can enjoy my finds through my work in illustration/graphic design, painting, etching and drawing.
Sketches are screenprinted on fabrics that I use for the Lappions, tote-bags and the summer- and wintershawls.
Feel free to take a look around!
