The Journey

Roos was born in 1974 in Nijmegen (Netherlands) and grew up in the picturesque fortress town of Heusden. Coming from a loving and artistic family, she was surrounded by creativity from a young age—her father an actor and her mother a painter. After finishing high school, Roos spent four years traveling through Asia, where she found immense inspiration for her future work.

Upon her return to the Netherlands, Roos decided to pursue her passion for the arts by enrolling at the art academy in 's-Hertogenbosch to learn how to express her rich experiences through sculptures and photography. She specialized in ceramics and also had the opportunity to study abroad in Valencia.

There, Roos attended in the evenings anatomy and portrait lessons at the University of Valencia, further expanding her artistic knowledge. During the day she took lessons in wheel-throwing, firing, and glazing at the ceramics school in Manises, where she mastered the fine techniques of these crafts.

It was during a winter holiday in Austria that Roos met her future husband and fellow artist. Together, they would later form the artistic duo Roos&Chris (www.roos-chris.com). Their work, often sold and exhibited through various galleries, gained a lot of recognition over the years. (Previous exhibitions)

Roos also found great joy in giving workshops and lessons at art centers, as well as teaching at the Design Academy in Eindhoven.

Despite her success in teaching and creating, in 2021, Roos and her family made a bold decision. They left the Netherlands to broaden their horizons and deepen her own creative journey. With her husband and two young sons, she set off in search of new experiences, determined to evolve both as an artist and as an individual.
