Drawing portraits at Jackeline Bakker in Alkmaar.
Drawing intuively at Rien van Holland from Heerhugowaard.
At Artiance under professional guidance by Martina Otto and Ivon Spee, she followed the course in Acryl painting and entered the premaster college at the Art Academy.
2005-2008: In 2005 and in 2008 she joined the national contest of “Talenspalet” in Hoorn. In 2005 she became classified in the pre contest. She was selected in the final contest, and her winning art was since exposed in the CODA Museum, in Apeldoorn, during that summer.
Her style is expressive-figurative with a lot of attention to the contrast in the composition. She uses oil and acrylic paint and charcoal on paper, canvas and panel. Sometimes she makes combinations of collages, charcoal in combination with chinese ink, chalk or pencil. She sets her scenarios firmly, colorful and translucent, thinking big. She loves the craft and nowadays she works on self-prepared panel. She combines her exhibitions with ceramic sculptures that she has been making since 2020.
