Femke van Gemert

Femke van Gemert is a multidisciplinary artist, educator, and creative coach whose practice bridges art, craft, and personal transformation. With a deep commitment to environmental and empathetic themes, her work explores the intersections of spirituality, women’s empowerment, mourning, and the search for life’s meaning—all through the lens of creativity as a tool for healing and connection. Artistic Practice & Themes Femke’s art is rooted in the reuse of discarded textiles, transforming them into sculptural and wall-based works that carry the traces of past lives. Her pieces invite reflection on environmental urgency, the divine feminine, and the power of shared human experiences. Through abstraction and figurative forms, she creates spaces for dialogue, awareness, and emotional expression. Teaching & Workshops With years of experience as a teacher and workshop facilitator, Femke has led sessions in art and design schools across the Netherlands, Germany, Mexico, and India. Her workshops focus on craft, creative self-expression, and personal growth, engaging diverse groups—from children to seniors, beginners to experienced creators. She specializes in fostering inclusive, inspiring environments where participants explore themes like empathy, empowerment, and healing through art. Creative Coaching Femke is a passionate coach, guiding individuals—even those with no prior creative experience—toward discovering their unique voice. Her approach is motivational, intuitive, and deeply human, encouraging participants to connect with their emotions, thoughts, and the world around them through making and sharing. Mission Femke believes in art as a universal language for healing, connection, and transformation. Whether through her own work or her teaching, she strives to create spaces where creativity becomes a bridge to self-discovery, community, and a more mindful way of living.
