I am a Dutch visual artist and creative-systemic coach. I love art and creativity, but mostly I love to empower others by using creativity. I am autodidact in my artwork and received some lessons in Painting and Drawing, Sculpture and Ceramics. My artwork consist mainly of ceramic art and paintings, and also lino-printing, collages and leporello. I work with a theme, look for the challenge of a material or just let it happen and be surprised by the outcome. My work is abstract with realistic elements. As creative-systemic coach I listen to you with soft eyes and an open heart and soul, so you can discover new insights about yourself, experiment and grow. During the creative retreats that I facilitate you enter the silence of nature, where you can discover yourself, God and your creativity. The retreat is a healing for your soul, God is at work and I may guide it. Art, creativity and coaching go well together in my approach. Educations and Work: I am graduated with a masterdegree in the History of Art, with the specialization Modern Art. Recently I finished the Masterclass Cultural Leadership and also Systemic Coaching. I was for several years a boardmember of Platform Church & Art (Platform Kerk en Kunst), which supports the emancipation and professionalism of artists within Dutch churches and assists churches in the design and completion of exhibitions. In my atelier you can discover the joy of being creative by making your own painting, lino or leporello. Welcome to visit.
