the song of the nightingale stretches darkness into light the finely woven threads reach everywhere they start nowhere – they have no end they fill your mind – outside of time the song flies forth and back – you hear it all at once while you stand under the darkest sky in the innermost light

Margrieta was born under Northern skies, in the Netherlands. During her biology studies with a major in philosophy at Wageningen (the Netherlands) she started with a variety of studies in bronze casting, painting, etching and ceramics. Her work embraces poetry and sculpture, but her main creative outlet is photography. She is living and working in Tuscia, Italy, the ancient volcanic land of the Etruscans where the magical landscape inspires most of her more recent work.
