Icewoman Print

I grew up in the Netherlands and graduated at the Academy of Arts ("Hogeschool der Kunsten") in Utrecht with a specialization in fashion and illustration. I then started as a freelance stylist in Amsterdam working for magazine publishers, television producers, a hotel chain and a model agency. Picking up on my painting ambition again I followed the School of Painting ("School voor Beeldende Kunsten Overijse) in Brussels. It was at this school that I started working with the technique of mixed media, a combination of acrylic paint and different kinds of materials which expresses and visualizes my inspiration. A lot of my work is an illustration of my travelling through many countries, during which I gained an endless source of inspiration and a challenge to put my creative ideas on canvas.
