Biography

I was born and raised in Zeeland, a province in the south-west of the Netherlands and I grew up in a little village right next to the dunes and the North Sea. Although I now live in another province, I visit Zeeland as often as I can. I still miss the wind and the waves…

I live together with my beloved in Eindhoven. My love and I run a small company together in graphical communication. I have a son – born in 1992 – who studies Artificial Intelligence on the Radboud University in Nijmegen.

I am a passionate artist who’s loves to try new techniques, products and ideas and I always try to stretch myself in my work. My favorite medium is paper. However, graduated as a teacher in arts
I have varied experiences in crafting and this allows me to combine products and techniques from different fields with ease.

Over the last years, my art changed from scrapbooking to art journaling and mixed media. I’m very concentrated and thoughtful when it comes to creating. I like to put away my work from time to time to look at it later with a fresh mind. I guess my art work needs a little time to “grow”. I like to use words and texts in my art – poems as well as ‘diary like’ texts and my art work often contains details or words that have a deeper meaning.
