Autumn
It is wonderful to start a new painting. Nothing is fixed and everything is possible. The beautiful fall colors outside inspire me and remind me of last spring’s lockdown.

Tall as a Spire
It may seem like I am always working on one painting at the same time. That I finish that painting and then start a new project. This is not the reality.

Forests hot as fire…
I asked my followers on Instagram and Facebook to vote for my painting that entered the contest ‘Painting of the Year’. A lot of my followers did do so, for which I am very grateful. But I never showed the painting properly. So, I’m going to show you the painting and tell you why I made this painting and what my inspiration was.
Colorblindness Project
My son has colorblindness and therefore thinks the painting with the yellow and orange flowers is 'boring'. With the help of my son and a special app, I will make the same kind of flower painting but with different colors. Colors that are beautiful for someone with red / green color blindness. Colors that stand out and attracts attention. At the same time I will tell you more about colorblindness.
Children are creative by nature
Children are not yet aware of the limitations of our world. Therefore they are free in their thinking. Rather than unlearning children that quality, we should encourage and cultivate it. So that they grow up to be imaginative and creative adults capable of coming up with creative solutions to unexpected problems.
Using my Corona Diary as an inspiration
It is wonderful to paint from a feeling, even if this feeling isn’t a happy feeling. During the spring corona lockdown, I kept a diary. Before I started painting, I read a number of passages in my diary. The feeling of that strange, uncertain period therefore forms the basis for this painting.

Visualizing dreams
I try to visualize my dreams in my paintings. With my paintings I try to take you with me in those dreams. Read all about my journey to visualize the dream of this painting.
The Land of Big & Growth
People always ask me what I wrote in my painting. Usually I only tell what book inspired me. I want people to make their own story, not to adapt mine. But for once I will quote some of the texts I wrote.
Part of the Dutch Culture!
As part of the initiative of the Royal Library to save a selection of Dutch websites for future research, the Royal Library will also archive and store my website for the long term.
Corona-Stories
Part of the Storie-series was made during corona-lockdown. These are the Corona-Stories: 'Tranquil Cities, Longing to go Outside'. The influence of the environment always plays a role in the creation of art. This unique period also leaves its mark in the arts.
Art during corona
I'm working hard on a new collection of paintings.
