I live in the northern part of the Netherlands and have a very busy job in healthcare and science. In my spare time and during my holidays I like to relax while painting. I have been painting since secondary school. During the last couple of summers I have spent at least one or two weeks at the most beautiful spots in Europe to paint. Mostly, I paint with my father, who is also a very enthusiastic artist. We help each other through difficult moments by giving each other feedback and enjoy nature while being creative. Two years ago I have changed the material that I use from watercolour to acrylics, because I feel this gives me more freedom. Landscapes (including villages and other buildings) are my favourite subject to paint. I have had four exhibitions in the past two years and have started selling some of my work. I have made this website so others can enjoy my work.
