Deux coeurs Painting

Welcome at Saatchi, in my online galery. . Since 2004 I paint professionally in my own studio, at the moment again in Holland. I followed different painting courses in Holland and abroad. For eleven years I worked as a teacher at the primary school. More than three years ago, in 2014, I decided to quit as a schoolteacher and choose for a year off. The way leads me to Turkey. First for a holiday and later I moved to a small authentique village at the West coast of Turkey. I've lived among the local people, made friends and had nice contacts. I've learned a lot about the lovely Turkish culture. Enjoyed the beautiful nature and fell in love with the authentique kilims and carpets! A selection of those vintage kilims are for sale at Etsy. During my time in Turkey, almost three years, I developed my paintingskills and new paintings where born there. You can see them here at Saatchi. Enjoy and I hope you feel the same feeling as I have when i'm in contact with my art.
