Serpent I Painting

Born in Duivendrecht near Amsterdam (1956), now living in Zundert. I choose my name Mieke 'van Zundert' as I think an artist must have some roots. I'm not working like Van Gogh ( Zundert is his birth town) but he is an inspiration for me. I draw, describe, feel, photographe but most of all,paint portraits of people and people in 'people situations'. Further, I like to paint plein air, streets, landscapes, or animalscapes :) but most of all I'm a portrait painter. Also , I make sculptures out of arcylised paper in mille feuille technic. These sculptures are, just as my paintings, mainly about 'people' and sometimes: there is the other site of me: Mariarty. she appears suddenly and makes me reveil verydifferent artwork. It is pholosfic, it is abstract. It is strange, but still: a part of me
