I believe that an art piece can make us feel joyful or strong and powerful or it can take us daydreaming into another world. I think that looking at art can relieve stress, helps you relax or stimulate your own creativity or imagination. My artworks are supposed to be peaceful happy places. They should serve as a space for the mind to be still and calm the eyes to rest from a busy world.

This artwork is all about my love to be in nature, embracing the sweet moments of doing nothing.

I love to paint female faces with sparkling eyes. I always paint the eyes first, because I see so much in eyes. They are the window to our soul, telling us much about a person just by gazing into them.

Female faces are always a big inspiration to me. I enjoy especially drawing the eyes and this is what I start with. It is the most difficult part of the painting but also the most exciting to find out her expression, her character while drawing.

The painting “Tendre” is inspired by the Japanese concept “wabi sabi” which is about the perception of beauty. Accepting the transient nature of life, authenticity serves as a focus point of wabi sabi cherishes the cracks and imperfections. They symbolize the passage of time and loving use. Love as the antidote to a throwaway society built on disposable goods and mass-produced homogenous items.

I love to paint landscapes and flowers, and especially wildflowers, they are growing anywhere and everywhere. Blooming in all the places people thought they never would…

Growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day, simply following the sun…

This artwork is dedicated to the full and rich colors of Marrakesh. Its magical sunsets inspired me to paint this one, so we can all dream of Marrakesh…

You’re with me wherever I go. A sensual sway embracing my sunkissed skin. Chasing the sun as it’s rising. Burning bright, cinnamon & gold. The horizon... wherever I go.

Longing for summer days with lilac skies and a warm breeze like a soft caress.

Inspired by the wild.

I love wild flowers, growing anywhere and everywhere. Blooming in all the places people thought they never would…

Growing freely in the beauty and joy of each day, simply following the sun…

A celebration of uniqueness and acceptance. Nature cherishes each brilliant, quirky bloom—and so will we. Let's be brave and true.

Chestnut, brown, terra, sienna… An ode to the colors of the earth, the colors of life.

I am a river, clear as crystal every morning, my path drawn by the wind. I am a river going down over wide stones. The moon shimmers in jade green water. Follow the river.

Living in the Netherlands, it’s never far to the sea and I go as often as possible. When I travel, I enjoy the long walks on the beach, hearting the ocean sounds and colleting shells and pieces of coral. The sea, sometimes rough, sometimes calm, gives me a lot of energy and frees my mind.

Spring is here, the season of new beginnings, where doors open and bright colors return.
