About

Take the leap
I work as a visual artist based in The Netherlands and guide and inspire other people in their own creative process and entrepreneurship.
Following your passion is a challenging but also beautiful journey. It is a step into the unknown, but sometimes you know that you simply have to listen!
The moment when you choose and make a decision . A process in which you learn to trust, gather knowledge and wisdom around you, learn from other people and move step by step towards your dream. It takes you to unexpected places, contacts with the most beautiful people. It is a journey in which the magic can begin!
This is a summary of my journey that started in 2021, with the big decision to quit my management job in mental health care. After 14 wonderful years, I knew it was time to take a step in confidence, towards a new future . It turned out to be a good decision in which I was able to learn and develop a lot about being an artist and entrepreneurship over the past years.
The paintings that go to new hearts and homes are meaningful and valuable. They tell a story, inspiration, a message of recognition, emotion, insight or new perspective. It makes me more than grateful that my paintings may fly out over the world.
