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!

  • The sunbeam child… the sequel… It is done!
    August 23, 2023 Sometimes it takes multiple iterations to get to a satisfying painting. I used my summer course to give this project a fifth and final try and I am happy I did, because I can finally look at the result with pride and contentment AND I learned a lot about all elements of the painting process.… Read More »
  • Almost done…
    August 11, 2024 My summer course is going well and is amazingly inspiring. I work with Will Kemp from the United Kingdom, an award-winning professional artist and teacher. We chose a project that is technically complex and we are almost done… Below is a fragment of the study that features sunbeams inside a room… Airbrush For this particular… Read More »
  • I see, I see, a scenery
    July 13, 2024 It feels so good to be back at painting! And much to my own surprise, it is a landscape. Or should I say: ice-scape? It is my take on what happened this winter in Port Stanley, a charming little village a stone’s throw from our house, at the edge of Lake Erie. It was a… Read More »
