no title Painting

Born in the little town of Doorn in The Netherlands I attended secondary school in Veenendaal where Art was one of my final subjects. In spite of the high grade I got, I went to study Nursing. In 2005 I decided on a second career in the arts and studied at the Nieuwe Akademie Utrecht. During this period I used collages as studies for my paintings, but more and more they became independent works, which exist alongside my paintings. My paintings are still often based on the collages I make. Since my graduation my collages and paintings and drawings have been in several shows throughout the country and in Germany. In the summer of 2012 I exhibited one of my collages in "˜Het Gemeentemuseum' in The Hague, The Netherlands.
