It felt like my heart shattered into a million little pieces when I heard the news about the sudden passing of our beloved figurative artist Hannie Sarris-Hulstein, 57 years young. My thoughts and prayers are with her wonderful children and loving husband in the Netherlands and to all of those around the world whose hearts and lives she has touched so profoundly.
Hannie was truly the epitome of pure elegance. Her caring and loving energy transcended the world through her kind words, giving spirit, and genuine thoughtfulness towards everyone she came in contact with. Her ethereal sculptural work was delicate and simply beautiful, emulating her inner grace with every stroke of the palely blushed colors in which she loved to work. She gave us a peek deep inside her soul creating pieces with beautifully pensive faces, soulful eyes, adorned in gossamer, lace and genuine love. The tender nuances in her work captured our hearts, lent beauty to our eyes, and left us breathless. Her work was truly reflective of a gentle and loving human being.
To me, Hannie Sarris was beyond beautiful. I thank you my dear Hannie, for all of your kind words, your love and support, and your inspirational work that will forever be here to remind us all of your warmth and innermost beauty.
I will miss my mentor, my kind and gentle friend who captured the world with her stunning and breath taking work with the essence of her soul. Thank you again my dear sweet Hannie, you will forever be a part of my heart and of my work. I know you have wandered off to another grand forest where all the beautiful fairy's gather and fly freely.
Much love to you and yours,
Angela Giovanna Loroux
