After I studied Psychology, I worked for several years for an insurance company, Human Resource Department. Within my work, I have always looked for activities combining business with interests in personalities. Especially the stories behind each person are so interesting for me. I also lived with my family some time in Scotland, raised 4 children, and wrote short stories about our life in Scotland. Being back in Holland my creative activities increased.

In the last 20 years, these experiences have stimulated my creative development. I started making sculptures. Other creative expressions followed soon like writing. For several years I wrote a monthly column for a national Rowing magazine on all issues around rowing like club life and all aspects of rowing. In writing my journalistic approach is recognisable. Other activities include redactional work at  of a quartile full color publication, for a Sports society. In my Artworks I often use bright colors, symbols, and movement to express my feelings or story. My early experience with graphic prints is still visible in my paintings and digital art. The creative manipulation of digital content like photos has become a part of my expressions. Last few years I have been making little illustrated books with poems.

Started in 2016 with Brink Art Productions, have been working in an old historic office building for 7 years, and have now started at another building in Arnhem at Conradweg 14. It is possible to have work ‘in bruikleen’ for ‘een vast bedrag per maand’ (zie knop ‘contact’).
