Welcome

Thank you for being here!

I hope to inspire you with my paintings, words and books.

See the light in yourself and the other and encourage it whenever you can.

That's how a sea of light will be spread across the world.

"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time. The mind that responds to the intellectual and spiritual values that lie hidden in a poem, a painting, or a piece of music, discovers a spiritual vitality that lifts it above itself, takes it out of itself, and makes it present to itself on a level of being that it did not know it could ever achieve.”
Thomas Merton

Sea and Soul

Listen to me, I speak in silence

Hear me, in salty drops on your skin

See me, as the elements merge

Know me, as you sing your songs of wisdom

Trust me, as waves come and go

What others say

"Your work is a beautiful and vibrant metahphor for connecting to ourselves on deeper level"

"What a beautiful and impressive collection with a soul. Life itself depicted in depth. The Scottish coast, the Dutch sea, and the diverse portraits of melancholy, joy, and longing."

"A beautiful portrait with an accompanying poem entered my home. You managed to capture all the elements that resonate with me, as if you can read my soul."

"The first thing that caught my eye was the gold. The gold that I recognize in myself and see in my clients. She hangs in my workspace, and I am very happy with the energy she radiates and the subconscious effect she has on me while I work."

"Her art is created in great freedom, making the invisible visible."
