Curriculum Vitae
My art education has been a delightful, perfect mix of technique and freewheeling. I started and ended at the Wackersacademie in Amsterdam. In between, I was offered the chance to spend two years in the U.S. where I pursued a Bachelor of Fine Arts with the concentration Painting at the University of North Carolina Charlotte. In the U.S. I felt inspired and encouraged to experiment, think about concepts and work big. Additionally, the Wackers Academy equipped me with a strong technical foundation.
I use all kinds of mediums but oil paint is my favorite. I love the tactile quality and the directness of paint. In a world where we spend many hours a day on the computer, it is liberating to use other senses like smell and touch and it is soothing to focus on one image for a longer period of time.
I currently live in Singapore.
