While I create primarily abstract paintings, my work is quite versatile.

I paint mostly with acrylics and explore a variety of surfaces from traditional canvasses and paper , to aluminum, fabrics and other organic materials.

I was born in Amsterdam but spent a number of years as a young child in Suriname. I trace many of the colorful impressions, I examine in my work to this period in my life.

I began my professional life as a dancer and joined the Bill T. Jones/ArnieZane dance company. upon relocating to NYC. After about a decade and a half of touring as a dancer, I transitioned into the Los Angeles film business, and built a dynamic career as a commercial script supervisor. My meticulous eye and innate understanding of spacial relationships made this an obvious and organic transition.

My work has been sold in Europe, as well as all over the United States. I have exhibited in the Amsterdam International Art Fair, Gallery 825, Gloria Delson Gallery, The Whole9 Gallery, Muzeumm, and Sundance Cinemas, I am currently a member of Woman Painters West and Gallery 825. I have been profiled in House and Garden Magazine, Studio Visit and American Art work magazines.

I feel a great pride to share this site where I can offer, in addition to originals, high quality prints for  reasonable prices.

My belief is art should be seen, owned and enjoyed by all.

Thank you for your visit and happy shopping.
