About Ophelia

Ophelia was born in Belgium to a family of artists and designers. Her life in the Belgian countryside was juxtaposed with summer visits to New York City, where influential artists were among her family friends. 

Ophelia now works in a variety of mediums including oil painting, clay sculpture, pen and ink illustrations, mosaic murals, and installations made of recycled materials. 

She shares her skills with the Albuquerque community through collaborative art projects with underserved groups, emphasizing the therapeutic and community-building aspects of art making. 

As Lead Art Instructor at the Albuquerque Museum, she is inspired by the creative spontaneity of her students’ art.

She draws inspiration from travel, tending to her garden, and the natural world.
