Saskia lives and works in Maastricht. As a child, she loved sculpting with found objects from the street and nature, and her family took her to exhibitions. These early experiences made her realise her desire to become an artist. In high school, looking to share her work beyond her family, she made her sculptures wearable and created her first jewellery pieces.

She graduated from the Maastricht art academy with a degree in handicrafts education. After entering the workforce, she found little physical or mental space to create her own art. The passing of her aunt spurred her need to express her emotions, prompting her to enrol in a goldsmithing course and set up a studio in her basement. In 2017, she won the Jewellery Award for her brooch series Beloved Memories, which portrays loved ones. This achievement included diamond grading training at HRD Antwerp. She began by working primarily with precious metals, then shifted back to sculpture and expanded her range of jewellery materials. Growing environmental concerns inspired her to adopt sustainable practices, pushing her to innovate beyond just using recycled materials. By embracing materials beyond precious metals and gems, she demonstrates how environmental consciousness can drive creative exploration and success.
