About me
PhD Research
Elma Hogeboom
Sustainable Artist, Entrepreneur & Passionate Gardener
A sustainable artist and entrepreneur from the Netherlands, I started out as a natural scientist with undergraduate degrees in physics and mathematics and a Master’s degree in biomedical image sciences. My understanding of nature nurtured a deep appreciation for the natural world. Merging the worlds of science and art, my works reflect the divine of nature by means of its timeless beauty and continual regeneration. I have designed my apothecary garden to be an earthly version of Paradise, full of colourful plants that can be used for art practices and that is brimming with life.
In the Studio
Take a look behind the scenes in my studio in Twente, The Netherlands. In this video I show you how I make Medieval inspired ink from rosehip oil, which I use for the finishing outlining on a Medieval illuminated rose design. I made this design using 24k gold and handmade paint, which contains some part of the rose (rose water, rose wood, rosehip) in every type of paint I made. All materials are eco-friendly, natural and non-toxic, such as Lapis Lazuli, genuine carmine and golden ochre.
