Lean on me Painting

I grew up in artistic environment; my mother was a writer and I was always stimulated to draw. After high-school I attended a drawing school. Animals are usually the main subject in my paintings. They sometimes appear to be vulnerable or funny but equal to each other. When I start a new painting, I never know who or what will appear on the canvas. Working with children and elderly people shows in my work which presents a good world; a world at peace. People often say I need to make children's books but I don't like to get stuck in only one character. Look at my work and make up your own story! I am from The Netherlands (Holland) but we currently live in Belgium.
