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 Elly,

Just checked out your book on line - really nice - very inspirational!  Glad to see you put your work in a book!  Fantastic!

thanks for 'friending' me - I've really enjoyed looking at your work. I love your use of colour and texture - found the 'travel' pieces on your website very exciting. I haven't started the sketchbook yet - still mulling over ways to approach it.

Elly,

I just checked out your Blurb book. For the last couple of years I have been assisting people with photographic projects and never dreamed of doing a Blurb project of artwork. If your ears are burning over the next several days, that is me telling the artists in my family/community about your project and the use of Blurb. Kudos!

First of all, the artwork in your selected works is solid.  You could have done nothing more than post page-after-page of spreads and it would be fine with me.  Your venture into the world of commentary mixed with a variety of layouts makes the book particularly captivating.  That being said, the section that starts with page 12 and goes thru 19 is all the same layout...and for me, I would have liked for you to force me to stop and read/view/ponder through those pages.  Odd that it may sound, the stop-start rhythm of the pages with commentary and varied layouts seems to be interrupted by a flow of sameness in layout in that one section. That may simply be me, being impatient and wanting to hear more of what you felt of the work on those pages...they are certainly worthy of spending time to enjoy.

I commend you for the project.  My best feedback would be to tell you make more of these!

Paul:)

Thanks, Elly. The photos are transferred by T Shirt transfer method! I just put the paper in my computer printer and photocopy the old photos onto it and then iron it on to the canvas or paper...

Hi Elly,

I just signed up with Art House Co-op and I'm in the process of getting back into making art again on a more regular basis. I've signed up with the Sketchbook Project to get me going. Your artwork captured my attention! Very inspiring to see.
