Bernadette Lambrecht, Belgian artist?

Question

Does anyone have any information on Bernadette Lambrecht, the Belgian artist ? I have relatives that have an original artwork of hers (a soft sculpture relief of multiple pears from 1970). Anyway, we don't know much about her, or how much the piece might be worth, and we are quite curious. Thanks.

Here are some details:

After studies with the Academy of the Fine arts with Namur, it is graduate course of engraving at the School of Cambers in Brussels. Since 1976, it professes with the workshop " Image in the Medium " at the School Higher of the Visual arts and Visual of the State in Mons. Since 1956, it was a succession of remarkable exposures ; it represents Belgian Art, the women, Cambers it ; it becomes a reference in the field of the work of paper and the textile (felt). The USA, Canada, France, Switzerland, England, its notoriety exceeds our borders quickly.

This large specialist in the paper moulded with the refined colours involves us in a nature which dies and which, after a slow decrepitude, reappears in a form évanescente in a world which threatens ruin.

With the occasion of the exposure of work of Bernadette to Botany in 1988, Jean-Pierre Verheggen wrote : " We are in our country of the inside, our crashed to pieces dreams and our prohibited childhood ! ".
