Last weekend I participated in the OAWK-atelierroute. People could do a tour to visit multiple artists in Wateringen and Kwintsheul. I joined a group exhibition with seven of my family-members. It was an amazing weekend! Not only did I enjoy seeing all artworks of my very creative family. But I also enjoyed talking to the many visitors who came by. […]

I am thrilled to let you know that I have been approved and activated bij Zatista! Zatista is a highly curated gallery that only accepts roughly 5% of all artists who apply.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
This week I completed a new painting in the Story-series: 'Lost'. The painting has beautiful fall colors. As with all paintings in this series, the painting changes as the light changes.
