Fenfolio is the artist name of Fenneke Wolters-Sinke.
Fen is how she likes to be called and folio means “a sheet of any written or printed material”.
Originally from The Netherlands, Fenneke is a
mixed-media artist living and working in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. She initially started as a photographer, running photography classes and managing a photo library until 2010 when it was sold. Since then she has been developing her art skills via various part-time and short courses such as Grays School of Art in Aberdeen, Edinburgh Printmakers and Bridge House Art in Ullapool. She likes to combine various mediums such as printmaking, digital processes, painting, drawing, papercutting, assemblage and artists’ books. She is inspired by the textures, patterns, colours, tones and shapes found in nature while on a sea kayaking, ski touring or hillwalking adventure. Fenneke’s work has been exhibited in local exhibitions, the National Open Print Exhibition in London, the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh and a few locations such as libraries across Denver, USA. In 2018 she received the Visual Arts and Craftmaker Award for a non-toxic printmaking residency in Massachusetts, USA/
Fenneke also works as an art tutor and is regularly being commissioned by art galleries and art groups to run various art, craft and Ipad workshops throughout Aberdeenshire and further afield. She loves helping others discovering new techniques and gaining confidence in exploring their own creativity.
