This painting was created during summer in a luscious garden with beautiful wildflowers.

A drawing on the back of a love letter made on an old typewriter. I love to re-use paper, because it has a story. The faded color, the holes & wrinkles…so mysterious and poetic.

I love to wander in the streets of Kyoto. She is like an ancient goddess in a beautiful flowing silk kimono patterned with blossoms.

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

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.

Inspired by the Wadden islands and the Dutch coast.

Once on a beautiful autumn day a gorgeous canvas of golden ginkgo leaves carpeted our street. Beautiful yellow golden leaves everywhere. A magical feeling which was captured in this painting.

In Japan the ginkgo's fan-shaped leaf has carried symbolism along with its singular beauty: a symbol of growth, protection, peace, strength and hope, and a symbol of longevity as the tree can live for a thousand years.

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.

Palmier - the leaf of a king palm tree. 

The first time I saw a palm tree, I immediately fell in love with their shape and form, which is why I included it also in my logo tinystories.

Colorful joy, inspired by my love of color.

Color is so powerful, it sets the mood for the story I’m telling through my art. I use color very intuitive, I do not start with a color palette, but start painting directly, I am fearless when it comes to color..

‘Color is a power which directly influences the soul’ by Wassily Kandinsky

There is a magical touch imparted by the flowers and their softness. I think it has a positive influence on our minds. From printed to real flowers, let your home bloom anew with this painting.

"When life gives you lemons…”

I love this proverbial phrase. Lemons suggest sourness or difficulty in life while making lemonade out of it is turning them into something positive and desirable.

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…

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.

This painting is inspired by a woman I met during my travels to the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua. Her eyes and facial expression were so captivating, so strong, so full of love. I sketched her a lot and finished this painting after coming back home to my atelier.

Let’s be like 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. Nature cherishes each brilliant, quirky bloom. A celebration of uniqueness and acceptance.

Let’s be like wildflowers. Not waiting for the storm to pass, but learning how to dance in the rain. Gently swaying to the sound of the wind. Let’s be brave and true. Embrace a slower pace of life. Making time to enjoy the sights, tastes, scents and sounds that you encounter. Eternally curious, authentic, open and playful and not afraid to step off the beaten path. Creating memories that you’ll treasure forever. Wandering barefoot, sharing, loving, gathering while enjoying the journey.

Let’s be like wildflowers.

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.

The lighter side of life a little bit slower… A little bit less prepared leaving room for life to surprise you with so many wonderful things. Coloring the lines finding the silver lining. Light & pure. Softness with strength, new sensations. The light dances with the purity of the natural.

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