I always had a thing for reusing materials. When I was younger, I inherited boxes of old treasures from my grandma and grandpa who was a painter too. From brushes, to ribbons, from paper to sewing templates. For this abstracted landscape artwork, I used their antique paper mixed with found paper from Canada and cut-outs from my old paintings. Dream away in a coral and chocolate landscape.

The night clears the sky for a new day to come. Free to fly, wondering with wide open eyes.

My mind, free as a bird dreaming, tasting the beauty of the wild.

Magic everywhere. Picking wild flowers and touching the sky.

The evening sky casts a dusty pink light across the scene, soft and muted, like a faded filter. The palm trees stand tall in the glow, their edges blurred by the warmth. It’s quiet—the kind of stillness that makes the ordinary feel unreal.

I love the mountains, rivers and the ocean. On our winding journey of life, we are like the river, coursing it's way gingerly toward the sea, exploring the universe of that inward journey toward the self.

Love to paint landscapes and flowers ‘en plein air’, outdoors. The sun is going, clouds are moving, animals are flying around… Love the process of observing, listening, the brush strokes, and mixing the colors.

Painting landscapes is a beautiful thing for your eye to travel through. It’s more then just painting the scene, I really want to feel it through painting.

When I paint, I feel it and I get into it.

Landscape and flower paintings are bringing the peace of nature into our homes and calm our souls, and inspire you to live a life connected with nature.

I drew this paining watching a beautiful sunset in Poylnesia, the colours shifted in tones with every inch the sun set further into the coean, merged with the sea.

I love the ocean.

Gazing toward the horizon,

I feel freedom,

possibility,

the future opening.

I look to where the light comes from,

where beginnings live.

The ocean lifts me,

fills me with quiet strength,

turns my thoughts toward hope.

Free from fear.

As free as the ocean.

She calms my soul.

This painting brings back lovely memories. After my graduation I lived in Indonesia and studied art. I lived with my tutor and his family who taught me so much about art, Indonesian art and culture, but also about perspectives in life. I was quite shy at the time and he encouraged me to tell my story. So I travelled around Asia and back in Utrecht I founded my atelier “Tinystories”.

Shades of nudes and pink, all cut outs from vintage paper, which I collect during my travels and keep like treasures. Creating landscapes from little nothings.

Inspired by the Wadden islands and the Dutch coast.

Capturing the colors of the beaches of the West Frisian Islands. Looking at the coast, it’s the play of transparency for me. The mighty tides shape everything around them. Open to the unexpected, capturing the spirit of free-flowing, balancing the finished and unfinished. Let this piece remind you to embrace fragility and cherish the little nothings.

 I’m inspired by the unique shapes of the mountains, the trees, the flowers and the beautiful underwater world, the coral wonders in shades of orange and pink.
