I have been drawing and painting since childhood. I grew up in a village in the northeast portion of the Netherlands, surrounded by wetlands. In this surrounding I developed a love of the landscape and its indigenous wildlife. My grandparents had a farm, where I spent much time drawing the birds and animals. Later I started to travel, which was to become an important part of my life. My paintings are a product of inspired travel, love for nature and a lifelong experience of making art. |
