I am a serial creator: a musician and visual artist of Dutch/German origin.

I have produced a lot of very diverse work like songs, dance-tracks, piano music and ensemble pieces but also collages, poetry and educational ‘Freedom’ tote bag. Despite this I still feel like I have hardly begun.

I am as a visual artist self taught and work intuitively but as a work starts to take shape, I add immense detail and hidden messages. I consciously try to contribute to the beauty in this world and don’t care if a piece takes me forever.

I am not a beginner anymore and now understand that I am a receiver of energy and grace; a translator of creative/primal force who sometimes uses the medium of image and at other times sound or words.

Originally a jazz singer and rock n’ roll freak trying to live outside the ‘normal/mundane’ world, I still have a phobia for authority and am scared of obedient people.

After two nervous breakdowns and a million boyfriends, I am now a yogini who is still addicted to doing what I love.
