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.

I called this painting "The Giving Tree" because I painted it with ink made of the bark of a tree, so wonderful to create so close to nature.

Autumn leaves shower like gold, the winds of change begin to blow. She is like a beautiful, bright autumn day. With golden hairs and eyes blue like the sky. Autumn and her early sunsets and magical damp mornings. The sun is casting beautiful rays of light through the mist and trees.

Painted in Tasmania’s quiet, wild light,
The Song of Trees took shape,
branches telling the stories of wind and time,
roots humming of earth, water, and sun.
A painting that holds the voice
of a forest.

Inspired by the Wadden islands and the Dutch coast.

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

‘There are always flowers for those who want to see them...‘  (words by H. Matisse)

With soft and fluid movements like ballet, gentle and graceful. Balancing, connecting and embracing harmonius life with all ups and downs, highs and lows. Dynamic. Nurturing my soul with positive thoughts. Dancing though life…

Nature is calming and relaxing, and a painting with flowers instantly brings a feeling of wellbeing to a room, and reminds us everyday to enjoy the beauty of nature.

This woman’s portrait, painted in soft pink and tender brown, feels like a memory of warmth. I love how the flowing colors ground me, calming the mind like early morning light. It’s as if I can smell the fresh air, feel the earth beneath my feet, and sense the soft light brushing gently against my skin.

I love how the silence listens, how the stars around me are lit at night and how the dewdrops glisten. The light where peace shines, where all dreams are born.

Dreaming of a live in peace… Listening to the whispers within my sight. Floating freely through the air around me. Seeking a place to settle in our hearts. The heart is like a bird, free to fly, spreading her wings soaring in the sky, flying away and feeling freedom. I love those peaceful moments of the heart when mind and spirit finally run free following the path less taken. Like a bird bathing in the soft clouds shimmering in the sun, showing the beauty to be free and to live life.

In natural peace all love is born. Let’s spread the love, let hope glow bright.

I have always been called a dreamer. My dreams and vulnerability have become my greatest assets. I followed my heart, created my own positive poetic dream world through my painting and collages. Being out of reality and sourcing energy helps me being in reality. Dream with me and discover your own flow, peaceful and calm.

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.

Trees are magical and autumn is the season to let go. “Our present situation is the result of all the things we have left behind” and the trees that release their leaves during fall are a wonderful reminder. They whisper “Next season, we all will get new leaves and you will too.”

Nature is calming and relaxing, and a painting with trees instantly brings a feeling of wellbeing to a room, and reminds us everyday to enjoy the beauty of nature.

I love to paint female faces, eyes, their curves, their sensuality… Look at Serene and find her hidden aspects, find what lies beneath the surface.

Vers la Kasbah

The city awakens slowly.

Quiet mornings, and the first stirrings of life, the warm scent of fresh bread drifting through the alleys.

Soft rose-colored light, and the patina along the old walls.

With every small gate I pass, a new view unfolds, the light guiding me further in.

Then comes the beautiful square, where the palm trees cast their long morning shadows.

I love these gentle mornings… when the whole day still lies open before me.
