Bio:

Rike is a German artist living in Cork. She studied Fine Art, Painting and Printmaking at the Crawford College of Art and Design. She has lived and worked as an Artist, Designer and Maker for 40 years in Ireland. She has exhibited work in Ireland and Germany and completed two large scale mosaic Public Art Commissions for Cork and Dublin Corporation. She is currently exploring the combination of traditional and alternative materials to make paper jewellery that is versatile and sustainable, feeling light and warm on the skin. Her pieces originate from her love for fresh and joyful colours. The outcome is a mysterious interplay of textures, braiding styles and colour variations. Since setting up her business in 2021, her jewellery is sold in the Glucksman Gallery, Lavit Quay Gallery and NI Craft Gallery. In 2022 she won the Sustainability Champion Award at the Glucksman Craft + Design Fair.
