I’ve joined the Open Ateliers in 2005, occupying Kruitberg 2007a. I paint in acrylic and oil, and make collages. I call myself a portrait artist, but I also like to work more semi-abstract.

I’m also a singer in a couple of soul bands, which coincides with my love for soul, blues and jazz portraits.

I’ve been an art teacher for 34 years at the Montessori Lyceum. I still love to teach, and I still give many courses on art.

I’ve been part of expositions throughout the whole of the Netherlands, and recently CBK Zuidoost bought some of my work, which was on show during Museumnacht.
