He studied at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam. D'Hont designed the statue of the Edison Award for music, named for Thomas Alva Edison,[1] who invented the phonograph. Most of his works are located in Utrecht, Netherlands, including the first statue of Anne Frank.[2] One of his pieces, 'Awakening' can be found in the grounds of Tilburg University.[1]
