Ritual, religion and superstition have always intrigued me. The oppressed nature, and man’s need for meaning and control are  motives. My works are always a representation of nature to which we are subject. Nature within, which corresponds with the outside. With references to the large and smaller rhythms.

From early childhood on I am speaking with the waters.
Growing up as a skipper daughter, water was never far away, and whenever near a river or lake I would feel how it circles the earth, linking time and space.
In the present day it is therefore the most important theme in my paintings. 

I am working from and living in Dordrecht, with my partner and our 11 year old daughter.
