Welcome to my site, my name is Lilian Wessels

After studying Art & Design at Padworth College (Reading) in England, I started to create my own art form, assembled ceramic scuptures. I was captivated by the three- dimensional possibilities this art form offers.

The travels to Africa have been contributed largely to this. I love this country for its deversity and contradictions. My work expresses admiration for the strong-willed African woman, who does not allow herself to be pushed away by the burden of this life, but wears her femininity proudly and confidently.

In my more recent work it is no longer about perfection and work more loosley. But I do want to preserve the facial features. They have a soft expression which is enhanced by the use of pastel shades.

The images radiate warmth and intimacy. They are images with a soul.
