The inspiration for Rain dance came (surprise…) from the soaking wet months of January and February of this year. Rineke wanted to make something beautiful out of all that rain. Fortunately, the Rain dance has helped, to finally stop the rain. Spring!

The John Denver song Poems Prayers and Promisses has been in Rineke’s mind ever since her youth. The song was also playing when she came up with the idea for this artwork. The glass elements each consist of three parts. Not symetrical but miraculous anyway. Forever beautiful. This is Evergreen.

Rineke’s art is now available through Dutch Luxury Design for enthusiasts who have difficulty coming to see her work in person. The platform offers online exhibits, sales, and shipping, with enjoyable personal service.

Rineke’s glass artwork “Caterpillars” reflects the curling movements of tiny crawling caterpillars in her flower garden, captured in blue, yellow, and clear glass. The work is framed for a nice spot on the wall.

The bright red glass artwork Scarlet with white accents, reflects the feeling of Valentine’s Day. Passionate red symbolizes love, white adds tenderness. A powerful, romantic work of art.

What a wonderful energy there was at the Art Market from 2 to 4 February 2024 during the Rotterdam Art Week. Organiser Unity in Diversity lived up to its name with a particularly varied range of work by very diverse artists. Rineke really enjoyed showing her work there and talking to the equally diverse visitors. It was like a party!
