Process notes
I am curious about what happens when I try something new. In these Process Notes, I share experiments, works in progress, recurring symbols and the occasional adventure that finds its way into my work.

A Small Form That Remains
A small oil painting, a house-like form almost hidden in the landscape. In “Shelter”, colour, texture and movement gather around a form that remains quietly present.

How do I choose an original artwork for my home?
How do you choose an original artwork for your home? A personal look at living with art, from three little paintings on my own wall to the surprising balance between colour, scale and character. And why I sometimes find it difficult to let a painting go.

Can I reserve an artwork before deciding?
If you are interested in an artwork but need time to decide, you can let me know. A work is only formally reserved when we have clearly agreed on this.

Returning to Kunstschouw Zeeland — This Time by Bike
This year I return to Kunstschouw Zeeland from the other side: as a visitor, by bike, moving through wind, villages, art locations and open land. A personal note on Zeeland, harbour life and the route that keeps pulling me back.

Can I book a studio visit if I am not ready to buy yet?
You do not need to be ready to buy before booking a studio visit. Sometimes a work needs to be seen in person first, with time, attention and no pressure to decide.

The Surface Is Still Open
In my outdoor studio, I work with paint, medium, canvas, straw, changing light and whatever happens around me. Working there helps me experiment more freely, without correcting the work too quickly.
