"The memories evoked, emotions relived, imagination and humor freed,
answers to old questions and wishes,
recurrent dreams and nightmares,
it's all there."

Born in Belgium, Leterme attended University of Leuven, Belgium and Catholic University in Paris. Having emigrated to Houston and without a formal art education Leterme discovered the joy of art making in the ceramic sculpture classes of artist Otis Huband in the early 70’s, followed by Ceramics and Printmaking classes at the Glassell.

She taught printmaking workshops at the Art League of Houston, Hill Country Arts Foundation, and her own Atelier1513. From 1983 to 1992 Leterme printed editions for several artists including Knox Martin, John Pavlicek, Benito Huerta, Steven Besselman and architect Charles Moore.
In 1999 she moved her studio to the 1891 Oshman building in Galveston where she continued teaching many monotype workshops.
