“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.

An ode to sisterhood. Embrace the differences, the beauty of soulful sisterhood. Curious about each other’s choices, raising each other up, supporting & encouraging each other on the adventurous path that is life. Let yourself be surrounded by the spirit of the sisters. We shine bright together.

Morning dew. Mirror the magical starlight to bless our day after a peaceful night. Morning dew. In the first chill of morning light like tiny pearls upon the leaves. They make mornings a bliss…

The lush of life, the lush of green. Sunlight dances in the room. Dreaming of emerald green waters and white sand. The sea glistened in shades of emerald and jade. The life of green, the lush of the woods. When the breezes flows, the green leaves fall, creating emerald showers. Magical mother nature. Emerald green in all nuances deep, pure and clear.

Jade is one of my favorite Gemstones. Considered one of the most precious stones of the East, it is said to strengthen love and happiness, balance and harmony. As a stone of the heart it is believed to help moving past wounds and fulfill dreams.

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…

I love to create abstract artwork because it leaves so much room for intuition, freedom and serendipity. Dream away and let the story unfold…

The female body, in all it's shapes, is always a big inspiration for me. I love the individuality, the small flaws making it just perfect.

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.

Morning sun in my atelier, rays lightening up the room. Could a smile may be the same as sunshine? Cause it banishes winter coldness from the human countenance. Sweet summer morning..

Nature’s beauty is a big source of inspiration to me. Nature gives me the showers that clears my mind and clears my thinking. Nature teaches to be patient. It teaches me how much caring and nurturing it requires. It’s a lot like love.

This painting was created during summer in a luscious garden with beautiful wildflowers. I love to combine pink. Let it be light, dark or raspberry bright – paired with green a sense of balance is created.

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.

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”.
