Kimonos by Dutch born artist in Oakland

A Dutch born artist has taken up art and has created kimonos, from in part, recycled coffee filters, which twenty people save for her....including the mayor of Berkeley, who lives on her street.  Her son has married a Thai physical therapist and lives with her in a stilt house in her village; she is off to see her.  The other offspring, a daughter has married a Swede. She lives alone in Berkeley and documents her art making.  She has an upcoming exhibition at a gallery in the Presidio district.
 


Use of coffee filters. 20 people including the mayor of Berkeley who lives on her street give her coffee filters. They wash and dry them for her.

Kimonos made of coffee cup filters, with interiors of various documents from the life.
