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 to paint ‘en plein air’, outdoors in nature and when I’m traveling. The process of painting is very intuitive, and the colors, texture, the emotion, discovering & interpreting surrounding inspire me. Color is often one of the most exciting components in my paintings.

Walking in Marrakesh is eye time for me. Seeing a world full of colors. Food for my soul.

I love the shades of brown in my home. It’s a warm rich color and blends so good with other shades and accents in my home. I love to add a little coral or pink like some fabric or candles. It’s like instant brightness and it’s beautiful with the brown artwork.

Brown is beautiful with complementary colors such as red or yellow-whites, dusky pink, lighter blue or sage green. The warmth of brown is associated with reliability, healing and strength. Brown associates with the earth, a calming and resilient element that keeps us quite grounded.

In Asia flowers have a deeper meaning, and the Frangipani flower is considered as an essence from nature that brings enlightenment and kindness. There are so many frangipani trees in our neighborhood here in Bandung.

Every morning, very early, when the air is still fresh, we make a walk, and I love to collect the fallen flowers.

There are some things, that just smell so good: coffee, jasmin, orange blossoms, and frangipani flowers.

This painting is a lovely memory of my love for Java and frangipani flowers.

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…

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.

‘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.

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 ancient Greeks had two words for love: “eros” to describe sexual attraction and “philia” to capture the feeling of a person being an immensely close soulmate which is beautiful, because friends are important. Friendships can be as deep as being in love. It’s always been second nature to me to show my love and appreciation for those related or not, through words. Maybe we have to tell our friends, family and partners more often “I love you”.

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