Hortence Brouwn (1937) was born in Suriname, and lives on Curaçao since 1973. Initially a math teacher, she is now a sought after sculptor with works displayed in The Netherlands, the US and around the Caribbean. Hortence uses limestone from the Tafelberg, as well as alabaster, marble, cement and more recently blue plexiglasss and neolite. However, it is her body of work in bronze that most capture her inspiration by classical music and the strong female form.
