I am a self-taught intuitive artist. My background is in law. Four years ago I had to make a radical change when I got my second burn-out. Back then I still lived in the Netherlands, where I was born. Recently I moved to the countryside in Portugal to have a relaxed lifestyle.

For the outside world my life in the Netherlands made sense, but for me it totally didn't feel right.

I was desperately searching for something that gave more meaning to my life and would also include my intuitive side.

Back in 2014 my journey of discovering who I am at my core, without all the layers of conditioning, started. About five years later I rediscovered art as a helpful tool to find my way in life.

The first year I made daily energetic paintings, lately I like to create using the so called 'Encaustic art' concept.

You can read more about this on 'the creation process' page.

An 'about' page ought to be simple and short, that is why I decided to write my first blog to give some more background information.

So if you are interested, you can read more on the 'blog' page.

I am open to all kinds of custom and commissioned work. You can use the form to contact me.

My art is already in private collections and I have made a limited amount of T-shirts that display my art. In the store you can find products that I currently offer.

Life will only change when you become more committed to your dreams than to your comfort zone.
