Blazing J Print

I am in awe over God's creation. The sea, and the sailboats are about beauty, romance and freedom. As a child I had hay fever and I was most happy when I was at sea. Surrounded by water in my native Holland I did not have to go far. I sailed whenever I could preferably ocean racing. I wanted to become a painter and studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in the Hague. To make a living I worked as a graphic Designer, stage set designer and photographer until my true desire to become a painter could not stop me any longer. I travelled to the Caribbean, became a decorative painter and started my company in wall finishes in Miami. From there I developed my skills as a fine arts painter and made several large murals. After all my travels I have become soul-oriented and I make analogies between the process the soul has to go through and the travels by sailboat.
