Elspeth Diederix completed her studies at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in 1995 (specializing in Free Work) and from 1998 to 2000 she was a resident artist at Amsterdam’s Academy for the Visual Arts. Before she started photographing she made sculptures and paintings, and both influences can still be traced in her photographic work. In 2002 Diederix won the Prix de Rome for Photography, and since then she has enjoyed international renown as a photographic artist. Huis Marseille has shown her work before, in the group exhibitions Supernatural(2004) and The Rediscovery of the World (2013). In 2009 Diederix started a blog, The Studio Garden, and since 2018 she has maintained a large public flower garden in Amsterdam’s Erasmus Park under the name The Miracle Garden – a garden which also serves as her atelier.
Elspeth Diederix lives and works in Amsterdam (NL).
