From my very childhood I love to draw and paint and from there the desire grew to make painting my profession. I was accepted at the Academy of Fine Arts in Groningen, a city in the North of Holland. During my education I preferred to work with watercolour and ink in a direct and spontaneous way, still I was looking for the materials I could express myself the best.

After graduating I came across a Japanese artist who showed how to work on rice paper, to see the brushstrokes dancing on this very absorbent kind of paper I fell in love with the Eastern Art of Ink painting.

To learn the technique I found my teacher in the Chinese artist Tian Wei, a professor of Chinese Art at the University of Zhengzhou China.

For 25 years now I am a Sumi-e teacher myself.

Painting techniques: My favourite technique is Xie Yi, the spontaneous way of ink painting.
