My Projects
My bio
I was born and grew up in the Netherlands, but have lived in Britain for many years. My grandfather, an avid art lover, introduced me at an early age to Amsterdam's art galleries and museums, where we were frequent visitors. My formal art education and own practice began at a later stage in life, when painting soon became a passion. Since 1993 it has occupied all my time.
I studied drawing and painting at the City Literature Institute in London and obtained a BA Honours in the Practice and Theory of Visual Arts at Chelsea College of Art and Design. Every year I live and work in France for several months.

Hi! I am so excited about the sketchbook exhibit coming to Chicago. I will be attending the opening and I will take some photos. it is wonderful that you saw your book in some blog photos. I have yet to see mine. The postal service is also pretty terrible in Chicago. I hope you have a great week.
oops i goofed on sketchbook.
excellent skechtbook!
I am so glad that you saw evidence of your book's arrival! I fret over international mail. A friend of mine in GA just saw my piece in Atlanta, and told me she gave it a hello. I love how accessible we've become...even if at times we become lost in it.
