About this website

This website is primarily about art, but I have also included stories about travel, cats and lots of other stuff. From today’s day and from yonder years…
Our lives are like a suitcase filled with stories and experiences. My husband and I currently live in beautiful Canada, in the large province of Ontario. We are originally from The Netherlands and Belgium, and after years of traveling we have found a home on the North American continent. For us, a home would not be a home without cats; many of our feline friends have traveled the world with us. A special section of this website is dedicated to many of them. Check it out at: felines.iamnow.today. But there are also stories and visuals about my adventures all over the globe. Do let me know what you think – I love reading sincere and non-robotic or spammy feedback!

    November 11, 2024 Has this ever happened to you: you see a person and while they are talking to you, you do not hear a word, you just are mesmerized by one or more of their features?Well, that is what this new painting is about. This Asian woman has a delightful face, but the thing that kept drawing… Read More »
  • Two more cats and three birds adopted…
    November 5, 2024 ‘Spooky’ and ‘Sun Lover’ were two other cats that were adopted during the art show this past Saturday. It makes me so happy to see people drawn to my art.
