Dear visitor,
I'm a visual artist, mostly I paint. I aim to create portals to the insides of reality, or ways to open them up for experience - visually, mentally and socially.

Good artworks can have an important social function. They bring conversation to a higher level. An inspiring way of social conduct is highly stimulated by good art, architecture and interiors. In this awareness I create my paintings.

Processes of perception and experience highly interest me. As a painter I work with light and darkness, color and substances. The social realm is also a field of art where perception is key. Our interaction is based on how we perceive each other, what image we have of each other. I worked with this notion with government officials, artists and in the world of Waldorf education, the latter mainly by writing articles for the Dutch Waldorf magazine Seizoener. As an artist one tries to have a deeper layer of consciousness about creative work and an ability to do research in this area. This I apply when I write articles based on the expertise of other professionals. Moreoften subconscious skills become conscious in this process.

Also in other ways I try to unite life and art. I created jewelry with reproductions of my paintings and in Enschede I host two B&B's (a yurt and a cabin). Here our guests can experience a unique way of living, a recreated bit of indiginous culture which is closely connected to nature. Where art and life go together, people can live in connection with nature, with their community or loved ones and in the honour of their natural rights.
