A lover of color, composition, and texture, Kloosterhof truly enjoys crafting things with her hands as she gives life to the most beautiful and detailed collages, illustrations, photoshoot sets, and large-scale paper installations. “She likes drawing parallels in languages, loves symbolism, color theory, puns, and idioms…and often tries to sneak these into her project”, POCKO, the creative content and talent agency that represents the artist, describes Kloosterhof’s unique style and way of creating.

Kloosterhof’s whimsical paper artwork has been published in magazines, newspapers, and online through client projects that include impressive brands such as Adidas, BBC, Facebook, Viktor & Rolf, Universal Music, and many many more, including various Film and TV productions where she’s worked as a prop maker and set designer.
