About

After getting my MA in Art & Art Policy in The Netherlands, I worked for several art organisations. When I moved to Shanghai in 2011, I picked up my art supplies and started making my own work. Fabrics, wood and random materials that I found in market stalls and “antique stores” played an important part in my art work during my years in China. In 2015 I moved to San Diego where I enrolled in the Art & the Creative Process Program at the University of California San Diego (UCSD). Since then, I have been focusing mainly on painting and illustrating.

Composition, color and shapes are key to my work. They are basically what I “see” first when I look around for subjects or when an idea pops up in my head. Shapes of color arrange themselves, working together with the topic at hand, which can range from a landscape via a social/economical issue to a conceptual idea. Whatever the subject matter, my art work strives to be harmonious and calm. It likes poetry better than heated discussions. But it nevertheless wants to have its say.
