ABOUT
“I was born on the Dam of Middelburg. At that time still to be partially renovated because of the war and the flooding of 1953. In the sixties, my parents moved from Brabant to the deeply protestant peninsula Walcheren..”
“Being a first child for my parents, they also got me two sisters and one brother..:)) We lived in a house near the sea and I went to a small and very pleasant catholic middle school headed by a brother. Reading, drawing and playtime were stimulated..”
“Senior school was quite the opposite; protestant with the Bible as the manual for life, and lots of do’s en don’ts. Being an outsider and realizing the impact of presentation I think this period may have shaped my interest in fashion. when daydreaming at school I altered the reality by making it look better, more colorful. Until the age of 17, I was convinced that Art academy was my journey. Then I opted out for something more practical and less serious than arts..”
“Today, looking back, I think my youth is best reflected in the sea paintings..”
