Mieke is a Canadian and Dutch Fine Art Photographer, living in
London. Her work challenges our ambivalence to the natural world around us. She strips down the unnecessary and focuses on simple lines and moments of movement or stillness in nature. Scale, distance and form are often ambiguous. She hopes to make you linger a bit longer and look at the forms, shapes and textures of nature.

Her practice is inspired by the Abstract Impressionists’
abandonment of traditional ideas of composition and by the17th century Dutch Master Painters’ use of light, composition and colour to direct the eye of the viewer. She experiments with modern techniques to achieve these effects in a digital image. Her work moves between fact and fiction and constantly challenges the boundaries of photography and art.

Mieke’s images are held in private collections and have been
exhibited internationally, including two submissions in the
prestigious Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition 2019. She has won numerous awards, most recently: a Julia Margaret
Cameron Award 2020; Minimalist Photography, Chromatic
International Photography and a British Photography Awards 2019. Mieke is Shortlisted for the inaugural Alpha Female Award at the Sony World Photography Awards 2020. She held her first solo show, ‘STILL’ in Marylebone, London earlier this year.
