Self-taught artist . After study and a few years roaming the planet I settled in an Amsterdam squadhouse early eihgties .Even back then it was an exiting and living town . Playing in bands and working as (light & sound) technician for theatre- and dancegroups got me in touch with , and generated my interest in Arts . It didn't take long before I started making art myself .At first drawings and paintings , and eventually also 3-dimensional objects and installations .
