My last-minute Christmas gift ideas The magic of cosiness – at Christmas we celebrate traditions we have come to love, and we find joy in life's small moments. Of course we can't do without the obligatory pine tree, even if there's an increasing demand for a sustainable alternative to the classic Christmas tree. This is why, for this coming Christmas season, I've created the wall hanging “SOIRÉES DE NOEL” (€99,95 , 70x100 cm). The textile Christmas tree is printed on strong, durable cotton canvas, available in a limited edition of 300 hand-signed and hand-numbered copies at www. tinystories.nl. Instead of getting annoyed with crooked tree specimens or falling pine needles, you'll have lasting joy with this sustainable pine dream, which you can roll up after your party and place inside a drawer, where it will patiently wait to be used again next December.   Last minute gift paradise Whether you need a small or big surprise for your party, my online shop has the right gift for every budget and taste.

In my studio it literally feels as if I am floating on a cloud. I look out over the roofs and treetops and the clouds, it is light & quiet, there is a soft breeze coming in through the open windows, the bamboo is whispering... Painting and creating, inspired by what is in my head, from my inner depths, what I feel, what I see, intuitive and capturing the spirit of free-flowing, it is a very happy process. To me my paintings and collages are feeling like quiet & happy places, a space for the mind to be still, to rest, and calm for the eyes.  

I love to work with antique linen book covers, natural dyed linen, found paper and old sunbleached paper. I paint with self-made brushes and Japanese brushes, love the intuitive & unpolished brushstrokes and the imperfections. Playing with layers & transparency, always open to the unexpected and seeking the balance between finished and unfinished. Through my paintings and collages, I am creating my own poetic positive dreamworld

I gather all materials on the ground and leave them to sit for a while, staring at the paintings, turning them upside down, trying to finish it in my mind before i make the last brushstrokes.. or not yet.Nature, female faces and nudes are a great source of inspiration for me.
