Our regular studio is located in an old grower’s cottage in Voorhout. During the National Open Studio Weekend, only the garden studio at Het Landje will be open to visitors. Here, you can see the work up close, in the place where it is also created.

View works from different series, inspired by the Dutch Bollenstreek, Iceland and Lago d’Orta. I’m happy to tell you more about the stories and symbols that recur throughout the work.
