Fides is currently President of the International Association of Handpapermakers and Paper Artists (IAPMA).
The paper artworks she creates are all made from her self-made dyed or bleached paper from various natural fibres like Kozo, Banana or Gampi fibre. The motif consists of inlays of handmade paper and/or different types of cotton or silk yarn.
When not making paper, Fides is an Interdisciplinary Art Consultant, providing training and mentoring in the fields of Art and Aesthetics, Fashion, (Self–) Marketing, socio–cultural matters, and interdisciplinary projects.
“I believe in progress through creativity, multidisciplinarity, innovation, independence and sustainability. Mindfulness, open–mindedness, versatile interests and authenticity are key elements of my personality.”
