She was born ln 1 963 ln Asse，west of Brussels，in Belgium．She was attracted tO clay from the gtart，but her cquaintance with the porcelain of the Tang and Song dynasties was the deciding factor for her to devote herself entirely to porcelain．She has participated in important exhibitions，in Belgium and abroad and has receivednumerous awards．   

    She creates porcelain objects with a most universal and extremely sculptural form—the bowl—a conical form with a raised edge．A structure comes int6 being by means of little colored porcelain strips．which form a rhythmical，dynamic entity，“such as the notes of a contemporary piece of music"．

    The bowl—shaped objects are not glazed，but rubbed down and polished up，as a result of which they capture and absorb the light through the thin but hard parchment skin．This turns them into frighteningly fragile and translucent porcelain objects．Thus they are really brought to life，almost trembling on their unsteady base．

    Initially，Mieke Everaet built up her objects from remarkably bright—colored fragments of mosaic．Later she started to experiment with more lyric，sensitive compositions with gentle pastel shades．The bowls are more varied in profile and size．In her last work the modest beauty of sober colors in shades of white，grey and beige in combination with repetitive fragments of strips，is very noticeable．She also tries out different forms，irregularly composed ot fine strips ln tWO alternating shades．

    As a sensible artist，M ieke Everaet never stops being inspired by her discoveries．but she has never been lured into imitation．She expresses herself with delicacy in her ceramics．For Mieke Everaet，the decoration of her bowls is like a lyric，a song that is one of a kind．
