My studio is nestled in a serene oasis of greenery which we created when we moved into our current home and studio in 2008. This natural setting serves both as inspiration and a quiet place where I can fully concentrate on my work.

After graduating from the Academy of fine arts in Rotterdam in 1991 (sculpture and teaching), I made the conscious choice to return to the countryside. Working in the garden and daily walks with the dogs create a harmonious balance in my life and foster a state of mindfulness that positively influences the creative process.
