I come from a creative family; photographing, sculpting, painting, teaching workshops, creative seminars and painting classes.
I started as a photographer at age 40 with my own studio, from age 50 I started painting as a self-taught artist.
I attended Sculpture Classes at St. Joost School of Art & Design Breda, Fotovakschool Apeldoorn, Foto Academie Amsterdam, Photography and Sculpture Arts at De Nieuwe Academie Utrecht. I attended several painting workshops in France and in the Netherlands.
I attended painting and drawing classes at the Volksuniversiteit Utrecht for a few years and nowadays at Still Live Studio Utrecht.
As from 2024 I teach Workshops in Drawing & Collages at e.g. Bibliotheek Utrecht.
I organise workshops collages at my studio at home.
