I was born in 1953 in Indonesia, when my parents lived there working for Shell.
In 1958 we moved back to The Netherlands.
After highschool I went to the Artcollege in Rotterdam in the early 70s.
As long as I can remember I have felt the need to create things; at first drawing and sculpting in clay, later on also painting and sculpting in bronze and stone.
The joy of creating, handling materials, and a deep longing for beauty are my motivation.
Actually all I want to do is “to make beautiful things”…..I feel the world needs a lot of beauty to stay in balance.
Animals are a favourite subject, especially horses and dogs.
But I also paint dreamlike fantasy landscapes, as well as still lifes.
When other people also enjoy my work it is very rewarding and fills me with gratitude.
