About me
Born (1968) and raised on Texel, I moved to Groningen in 1986. To study, to work, to love and
to start a family. After the HBO youth welfare work in 1990, I completed the Classical Academy in 2015. Since then I have been an independent painter: I paint, I give painting lessons to children and adults and I am still developing. From August 2021 I will live on Texel again and work there as a painting teacher and painter. Stay informed about my activities and exhibitions, by sending me a message, or follow me on Facebook or Instagram.
