Beppe Kessler (1952, Amsterdam) is a contemporary jewellery maker and painter who lives and works in the Netherlands. Kessler graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in 1979, with a degree in textile art and industrial textile design.

Material is the vehicle of her thoughts. All her work – paintings, objects and jewellery – is inextricably linked and informs each other.

‘My inspiration lies in huge concepts you cannot describe into words. Like time, nothing, the violence of the elements. Or in small things I encounter, thoughts that amaze me, making me realize that vulnerability gives life to things’.

Her work is included in the collections of various museums worldwide.
