"I learned the art of batik when I was very young, since my mother is a batik artist. She has been making batik for 23 years, while waiting for my father – a fisherman – to come home from the sea. As you can imagine, batik is a part of my life. I started experimenting with the technique when I was 13 years old, with
mori textiles. Now I've learned to create different motifs and to work with other materials, such as silk. My mother still helps me a lot.
"My inspiration to create is based on her knowledge. She and I still design together, especially the floral and bird motifs that are typical in Pekalongan batik. My husband Rieckey also helps me a lot because he knows what people like abroad, and then I can focus on creating. I would like the batik of Bali to become well known around the world, since its beauty is outstanding."
