Hilde DeBruyne
West Des Moines, IA
Artist’s Statement
Born in Belgium to a family of artists, Hilde DeBruyne possesses the innate ability to transform clay into timeless works of art. She studied Art History and Archeology at the University of Ghent. Art eventually became her passion in life.
Her rather abstract clay works reflect nature and the authenticity of the cycle of life. Fragments of the feminine form emerge inspired by the simple and organic features of rock formations, pebbles, and weathered wood.
Her artwork has been in public and private collections and international exhibits.
She also designs artwork to be executed in metal or bronze.
Hilde lives with her family in West Des Moines, IA.
