Born in the Netherlands but calling Canada home; I am a portrait painter and love to work on commissioned portraits.
My vision is to capture my subject with their character front and center.
I have been through a tremendous amount of heart ache in my life and making art is the one practice that centers me and makes me whole and happy.
For me making art is a process I feel my way through. After thinking about the composition and medium to use, I dig in straight away with paint without drafting or transferring an image. I like to work in oil or mixed media with water color, pencil, acrylics, markers and oil.
