I am JFH which stands for Johanna Franciska Hartgers. Yeah, try saying that out loud when you are not born in the Netherlands. That's why the short-cut. I write for my money and draw out of fantasy-overflow. I read a lot, most history for my writing so I tend to stumble upon a lot of inspiring women.
Last new year, in a drunk stupor, Hermanneke came to me. I did not pay much attention to her at first, but whenever I came upon someone I felt inspired by I kept seeing her in Hermanneke's form. So I did my first, just a plain one, to see how she would flow out of my pencil and while doing so I immediately new what her colors would be. Brown for the element earth, strong, comforting, always still. Yellow for spirit, for everyone's spirit shoulsd feel like sunshine (feeble hope, I know, but can't blame a girl for trying
Her name is a tribute to my father (rip) Herman and my mother ( still her
Herm/An/nekke
For without them I would not be here and without me Hermanneke would not have seen the light of day. Also, Hermanneke had a cute sound to it,. although I must admit I have not given any thoughts about how it might sound in other languages
I modeled her after the old fertility goddesses like the Venus of Willendorf. Her forms more a tribute to her strength and to amplify her womanhood. I wanted a simple way to show a female figurine in many forms, and I think I managed. Also, I am used in drawing full figured women so it came natural to me.
So I hope you might take a look at my little girl, take care and keep safe!
