Elly de Jong, sculptor, has been living and working in the polder near Amsterdam for 25 years. Her images are inspired by that place and guided by feeling and curiosity. Human and animal, movement and balance, harmony and humor are important in her work. She is 'passed' when people have to smile at her work or make it feel good. Elly works with bronze, stone, wood, porcelain, glass, paper, plastic and makes jewelry in various materials.
