Kortekaas was educated at the Royal Academy of Art and Design in 's-Hertogenbosch from 1968-1973. She graduated in plastic design and also in graphic subjects. For years she sculpted: plastic female figures in stone, but in the long run that was no longer satisfying. In the 1970s, Juul Kortekaas attended classes in garden and landscape architecture in Wageningen. She also started writing stories and poems. In 1984 Juul settled in Middelburg. Her work is very diverse: small bronzes, sculptures in stone, works in iron and in lead (such as the 'tulip blocks', with which she became famous). She also makes paintings, including tulips (The tulip with its fascinating history has stolen a piece of my heart). (Source: Wikipedia)
