Overview

What we did

Nathalie Jonckheer has been making art for over 35 years. Starting with painting and dabbling in almost every other discipline, her core focus has always been on mosaic. She is known around Curaçao as "tante Nathalie" for her work in teaching crafts and mosaic to kids through interactive weekly workshops and fostering creative confidence in young children. In recent years she has extended this offering to adults, allowing anybody with an interest and a night free to stop by her studio and create whatever they want to — mosaic, dot art, acrylic paintings, stucco, mixed-media, and much much more. She has also begun dedicating time on larger-scale projects, having recently completed a massive mosaic project at Jan Thiel's Dive Shop and a tthe Otrobanda Viaduct Steps. Her name is gaining recognition locally and abroad, and with it a demand for visual material that people can interact with. Nathalie has always photographed her projects but never dedicated much time to publicising them, wanting only to focus on the creation of it all. She came to me with this conundrum: How to create an artist portfolio that allows her art to speak for itself while still getting her name out there? It was a fun and challenging project for me to tackle because of how "behind-the-scenes" Nathalie likes to be. Barely ever photographed while creating and freely giving away her art means it was hard to pin down a style that would fit. Ultimately, we decided that a visitor's first contact should be with her projects and chose for full-page images and minimal text so that the beauty of each mosaic could shine through. A small about page and straight-to-the-point contact page means that people who need her can find her right away.

"When Amber was little, she would smash tiles for me on the back porch so that I wouldn't have to stop working on my pieces. Now that she's all grown up and making her own version of art, it's the most natural thing in the world to have her in charge of my website. She's always helped me out so that I can work on my art and this website is no different! I know I can trust her with my vision and get something back in return that really feels like me."
