BIOGRAPHY

She works like an architect in creating her art. At the same time, Janet is occupied with the question ‘how can my work contribute to the well-being of human and planet’. Energy is the most important component of Janet Vollebregt’s work.

Her works are of different size and order, ranging from landscape architecture and interior design projects to installations and artworks. Living and working in the rugged nature of Brazil’s interior for more than 10 years, her understanding of nature and its indigenous inhabitants also greatly influences her work. Her inspiration comes from the awareness that nature is divine and that we are all part of it. Her works are of varying size and order, ranging from landscape architecture and interior projects to art installations and artworks.

Janet Vollebregt studied Architecture at TU Delft and she is trained in Jin Shin Jyutsu, a Japanese medicine that works with energy. Soon she will have a solo exhibition ‘Nurturing Spheres’ in Museu Nacional da República in Brasilia.
