Over mij

Zolang ik mij kan herinneren, teken en schilder ik, maar om allerlei redenen verliep mijn carrière anders. Ik werkte achtereenvolgens in de ICT en als leerkracht in het basisonderwijs. Maar de wens om van mijn passie mijn beroep te maken, bleef altijd aanwezig.

Na tientallen jaren als amateur schilder, heb ik in 2022 de knoop doorgehakt en nu ben ik professioneel beeldend kunstenaar.


De afgelopen jaren maakte ik een ontwikkeling door van realistisch naar semi-abstract. Ik begon in 2004 met realistisch schilderen in olieverf en kreeg les bij Galerie De Duig. Vervolgens wilde ik mij bekwamen in portretschilderen en kreeg ik les van kunstenaar André den Hartog. Hij leerde mij ook losser en vanuit mijn fantasie te schilderen. Sinds het intuïtief schilderen op mijn pad kwam, schilder ik vooral met gemengde technieken vanuit mijn gevoel, waarbij ik mij laat inspireren door de natuur.

Inmiddels beschik ik over ruime schilderervaring in diverse schildertechnieken. Mijn curriculum vitea vindt u onderaan deze pagina.

Nieuwsbrief

Natuur en intuïtie

In mijn werk laat ik mij inspireren door de natuur: dichtbij door de insecten en planten in mijn tuin, in mijn omgeving tijdens mijn wandelingen in het nabijgelegen natuurgebied of verder weg tijdens mijn reizen. Steeds weer krijg ik cadeautjes, 'gems of nature' noem ik ze. Na zo'n wandeling of reis voel ik de behoefte om mijn ervaringen weer te geven in een schilderij.  Soms geef ik het kleine en tere weer, zoals de hommel op een distel. Maar ook de kracht van de natuur en de vergankelijkheid is terug te vinden in mijn werk op abstracte wijze in texturen, vormen en kleuren. Ik houd ervan om intuïtief te werk te gaan en vanuit mijn onderbewuste te creëren. Om spelend te starten en dan te reageren op de verf en materialen vanuit mijn gevoel. Dit is vooral te zien in mijn schilderijen gemaakt met gemengde technieken. Daarbij gebruik ik hoofdzakelijk acrylverf en paletmessen in combinatie met oliepastel, houtskool en acrylinkt. Kenmerkend is mijn fantasievolle, losse, experimentele schilderstijl met veel textuur en (doorschijnende) lagen. 

Op mijn Blog post ik regelmatig over mijn artistieke reis, want ik zie mijzelf als een kunstenaar die continu in ontwikkeling is, op zoek naar nieuwe uitdagingen en die geniet van een reis die nooit eindigt.

This is how I started my Creative Reset Two years ago I followed a free course created by Louise Fletcher which completely changed my art making: 1. I discovered Intuitive Painting without rules 2. I discovered how to paint with joy It was a door opening inside of me releasing unlimited creativity It was pure freedom This year she did the free course again but being in Spain, I could not join live. That doesn't mean I can't do it at all. What better way to get back into the flow than doing her #creativereset assignments! This is the result of day 1. I decided to use a colour palette of ultramarine, lemon yellow and permanent rose. My discovery: I am not a fan of the loud mixtures. I decided to do it again replacing lemon yellow with primary yellow. Now this I find interesting and will explore further on canvas. Can you spot which ones use lemon or not? Curious to read your answer in the comments ? or not, that is the question Stay tuned for next week's results or Follow me so you don't miss it #intuitivepainting #intuitiveart

Trust... easier said than done. But so worth it. By trusting the process, I create my most authentic art. Like this funny painting.  Suddenly it was there and it made me smile. I decided to keep it, to allow it to be here. It came with me to my last exhibition too. Because I like to make others wonder and perhaps smile as well. Intuitive painting,  without a plan. I start playing, in layers, until something happens. This might take some time but usually all will be good in the end. That's what I trust in. What do you trust in? ?

Enjoying the moment. How great is this! Lovely artist @bigflowers.nl offered to make a video of me and my art during Kunstfestival Onder de Linden in Vlaardingen last weekend and this is the result. Check her beautiful decorative flowers! Thank you ❤️ #artfestival #showcaseart #artexhibiton 2025

I wasn't even going to bring this painting to the Art Fair last weekend, but I am so glad I did. It's not that I didn't like it... on the contrary. I love this girl, the colours, the way she appeared. I just hadn't expected other people to be touched by her as well. If I hadn't brought her, I would have missed these responses, wouldn't have had these beautiful and emotional conversations. So I am thankful I decided to put her at the centre of my exhibition because I learned a lot because of it. She didn't have a name yet, but after one particular conversation I knew...

This may have been the last time I could join this yearly Art festival #onderdelindenvlaardingen because this beautiful location, De Grote Kerk in Vlaardingen, will probably get a new destination. Let's hope they will still keep some space for all the wonderful artists to exhibit and showcase their art here ❤️ The people who visited my stand were mostly charmed and touched by the larger painting of the girl in green. Same time next year please ? Ps: Thank you @atiekeizerwaard for the fun! #artfairvlaardingen #artforsalebyartist #intuitiveart

Attempt two: much better Thank you @bigflowers.nl for taking the pictures ❤️ What a great weekend thanks to #stichtingmetamorphose who organised the yearly Art Fair Festival Onder de Linden in Vlaardingen. I had great conversations, sold my art, met interesting people, met great artists and was asked to exhibit in two locations next year. #artfairvlaardingen #artfair

When you ask your hubby to take a picture of you at your artstand ? Today was a great day #onderdelindenvlaardingen festival. A lot of interesting and interested people, nice conversations and several artworks sold. At the end of the day a woman told me how she was touched by the larger one, girl with flower. It's such a nice feeling that people like my art enough to buy it and it now is in their house ♥️ Tomorrow is the last day of the festival. #artfair

Did you ever wonder what artists do on their holiday? I don't know about others of course but I draw or paint at least once ? Little sketches with watercolour of the views from our apartment in Spain. #pleinairpaintings #urbansketch #watercolorpainting

Have you ever wondered how artists take time off? They don't ? They bring their art supplies so they can sketch or paint just in case. They make pictures as inspiration for their next art project. They try to avoid posting here but they so like to share ❤️ At least, that's what happens to me. How do you spend your holidays? #timeoff #artholiday

⚠️sound on but watch out with volume! Probably you have been wondering why it's a bit quiet here. I am on a holiday break in beautiful Spain to get new art inspiration for the coming months. Ofcourse there are many crickets here ? but this morning we were treated by a concert close by... Deafening sound! #artinspiration #spainnature #naturalinspiration

Two years ago I made a huge discovery that completely changed my art! For 20 years I had been painting realistically with oil paint. I was taught by very talented artists and learned so much from them. But after a while, I lost my motivation. I found it hard to paint from my heart, something was missing. But then... I did this free starter by @louisefletcher_art that opened up a new world for me. She taught me the most important lesson: ? Don't think about the end result and have fun playing with any material you like, just play In the beginning it was scary... and hard to switch off that critical voice ( what will people think). And it still is sometimes. But you want to hear something funny? The paintings I sold were the ones I created this way. For me it represents total Freedom and that's visible in the end result. It also means my art is difficult to label. It makes it harder to find my people. But I am convinced that creating my art this way, results in my most authentic art. And I know there is one person out there who loves it.

When you decide you no longer want to be dependent on your husbands technical skills to add wire to your painting for an upcoming exhibition, this is what you do.... Do it yourself ? I am actually proud this worked after my first try ? #exhibitionpreparation #arttech #howtohangart

Yeah, my first #infinitecard ... And you know me, I just had to make 16 mini collage paintings with my self-made gelliprint papers to put inside. They remind me of several countries landscapes: Canada, Portugal and of course The Netherlands ? It was great fun and a big win too because: - I got loads of ideas for bigger collage and/or paintings - It was a great way to practice my composition skills - I discovered which colour combinations I love - I learned something new (brain gym) - I had fun doing something different I hope you like the result. Let me know! #cardsofinstagram #collageartist 2025 new art explorations

My first attempt to make an infinite book. Today I saw a reel from someone @katharina_tarta_crafts about how to make an infinite card. I loved the magic of it and decided today to be my creative day without paint and fill the little pages of 5x5 cm with my leftover collage gelliprint papers. This way I could study composition and colours in one go. This is only 4 out of 16 squares but I love doing collage again. It's so relaxing to put together my scraps of self-made gelliplate paper. And I love these colours. I am thinking of creating these on my 50x50 cm canvases, which are waiting, but with paint instead. It will be a nice challenge to see if I can create these textures and atmosphere with paint as well. Can't wait to can't wait to continue with this project ❤️ #infinitecards #paperartwork #collageartwork #gelliprints

Why these sketchbook colour studies? They teach me so much. What works well and what doesn't work. What I like and don't like. I use this knowledge in my paintings later. #neverstoplearningandgrowing #colourmixing #sketchbookart

Finally I reached 2k views. Do you want to know how? A year ago I posted this quote, that's how. Isn't it ironic how I have been spending the past year, trying to understand the algorithm to get more views on my art. Using catchy hooks, filming myself, etc Today I told my art group, @rafaelleartworks @sr111_abstractart @infinity_squared_art , my goal is to pass 500 views. Then I thought, didn't I already? So I looked in my history and saw a couple. Even one where I was testing some watercolour brushes, which got over 1k views. But the one that did very well was this quote. No text, no seo, only this quote. And it still is very true... in every aspect of our lives, so I posted it again as a reminder ❤️ #mindset #mindfulness #peacefulart

It's all in the details! When a painting is finished, there are still some things to be done. It's relaxing too. Mixing the colour that matches the painting best. Applying the paint several times.

About breaking patterns. This painting on paper started with random mark making and I so enjoyed the rhythm of colours, brushstrokes and patterns, I decided to continue doing that. Just make marks where it feels right. I call it Breaking Patterns because that's exactly what I do. When I see a brushstroke, I break it. When I see a boring spot I break it. On and on and on... I love this process, I love the layers I love the colours, I love the loudness. It still doesn't feel finished. It feels like it wants me to play a bit longer. So I trust the process and see where it will lead me. Don't want to miss the end result? Sign up for my monthly newsletter Type NEWS in the comments. You will be the first to see my finished paintings. There will be a new edition tomorrow, so don't wait too long. #markmaking #markmakingartist #intuitivepainting

You will be the first to see my finished paintings. There will be a new edition tomorrow, so don't wait too long. #markmaking #markmakingartist #intuitivepainting
Sketchbook day: colour study - layers. Mostly I paint from the heart and don't overthink what I mix, but I think it doesn't hurt to keep studying colours so they will be stored in my brain somewhere to be used intuitively later. I chose Cyan, Magenta, primary yellow and white again. This time I mixed so called family colours and tried to think about the most, some a little rule as well. Mostly families of Orange ( close to each other on the colour wheel), some Orange and a little bit of blue ( opposite of orange). I like this layering, either transparent or covering up what's beneath. I tried the same on another page with green, which has a totally different feeling to it. I am curious what feeling you get from each? Is there a difference at all? Let me know the comments ?

When a painting is finished, there are still some things to be done. It's all in the details ❤️ It's relaxing too. Mixing the colour that matches the painting best. Applying the paint several times. Today I did these three wood panel paintings, one of them is sold even before I showed it in public ? The others will soon appear on my site.

It was almost too late... Recently I sold a painting which I thought wasn't finished. The buyer loved it so much, I sold it anyway. It was a painting expressing my feelings without overthinking. I am glad this person loved it at this stage, because I liked it too. It was a reminder to stop in time and ignore that critical voice. That's why I paint, to express myself in my unique way. This buyer taught me a valuable lesson. There are people out there who love what I make. If you like my art, follow me or type INFO so I can send you more information about what I do. Or share this with someone who loves original artwork. ????? Ps: the painting in the reel is a work in progress where I enjoy adding layers and layers of colours and marks, to study light. I like where it's going. What about you? #quirky #unusualartwork #abstractpainting

Perfectly Imperfect? For me the beauty is in imperfection. Something I always have to remind myself of when I paint. I absolutely love the early stages where the paint marks are made and I don't overthink. But then it happens... The critical voice asking me if my painting follows the rules of composition, are the colours not too bright, what about the values, and so on. This painting I have changed because of that. And I can't stop thinking... why? Because I really liked it the way it was. Pure, raw, different, unusual. My feelings expressed on the canvas without overthinking. What about you? Did you like this version? Follow me if you want to find out what the final version looks like.

Sometimes I wonder what my husband thinks of me being an artist at home ? And I didn't even show all my stored finished paintings ? We almost finished some renovating in our home and there are so many empty walls to be filled now ❤️ It will become my home gallery where I can showcase my art. And the tiny empty room ( his former office, my former studio) will be used as admin and storage room soon, giving me some extra studio space ? Have a look in my studio ⬆️ What do you think? #studiolife #artstudio_post

Saturday Sketchbook day: colour study. Mostly I paint from the heart and don't overthink what I mix, but I think it doesn't hurt to keep studying colours so they will be stored in my brain somewhere to be used intuitively later. I chose Cyan, Magenta, primary yellow and white. Next, I mixed 4 colours from these that are supposed to work well together according to the colour wheel theory. The mixed colours are used intuitively in my Sketchbook without overthinking and in a short amount of time. I use these primary colours a lot in my paintings but as you can see from these studies they can lead to very different results and feelings. I am curious what feeling you get from each? Is there a difference at all? Let me know the comments ?

Time to get rid of the old stuff - part 1 It was on my to-do list for a while now, going through my old drawings from my monthly model drawing class. I kept them all and some go back 10 years! But they are taking up valuable studio space and are only collecting dust. I selected a few (not all shown here) to keep, because there was something special about them. For example the composition or a technique I used and forgot about. Looking back on my old drawings can teach me what I liked and maybe can rediscover. Others were made on good quality paper which may become the base for some new paper art (why waste, better reuse). I also went through my oil paintings from the last two decades, mostly studies. I will show them tomorrow. I suggest you have a good look if you like something because I want to get rid of some or will paint over them. #studiocleanup #lettinggo #artstudies

Three works in progress: two peaceful ones, escape from reality. One in turmoil, a reminder of the chaos these days.. I love creating both. Express and escape... Which do you prefer? #peacefulart #expressiveart

Why I do this? When I use a certain colour palette, I want to understand the colours as best as I can. This is a simple colourstudy using Magenta, Cyan and Primary yellow. I enjoy mixing my own colours from the 3 basic ones because the whole painting stays in harmony. The quick practice portrait I did by heart and it's funny how they always look like me (without the wrinkles). I used to paint portraits with oilpaint a lot, never with acrylic paint though. It's a different way of painting and I find it harder to do. It dries so fast ? #acrylpaint #colourstudy

This is what happens when an artist keeps exploring new things. I am exploring light in my paintings. It was always there but after a period of darker artworks, I felt the need for brightness. This canvas started with very bright, yellow and pink acrylic inks that I am exploring at the moment and it turns out to be a pretty cool ground layer for creating vibrant colours. To be continued, though this particular piece feels finished already. It reminds me of stones (Did I do that before? Yes I did ?) but I also see a person looking over their shoulder (me seeing figures in my paintings all the time). What feeling does it give you?

Focus! Recently I did a 7-day meditation challenge called Focus. I tend to leave things unfinished and start new projects instead. Focus helps me to finish my works in progress and to dedicate my time to my light project. For a coming exhibition, early September, I want to show my darker inkart next to my new light work, which means I have a month to create new work. No pressure ? In this reel you also see my Mark making canvas. I use it to test my mixed colours and the effect they have when placed next to each other. It's so much fun to just make marks and create his turmoil. The painting reminds me of the turmoil and chaos in the world. After my Sketchbook explorations and mark making, I continued with two works in progress, which are quite the opposite...very peaceful and the colours are muted and in harmony. I like working on these as well and start seeing small fairies and fantasy figures. My escape from the chaos ? In two days I will post these works, so you can have a closer look. They are still works in progress. I usually know exactly when I am satisfied, and now they are not. Stay tuned to see them!

A conversation between two pages. Back to my studio after 1 week holiday, 1 week renovation (ongoing project) and an art fair. Mark making! This suggested music fits very well too ? Reflecting on my Sketchbook, I see mountains popping up. And round shapes, but I don't like those. #sketchbookart #exploringlight

When your mother is an artist too..... We had a nice time today during the art fair #vanhogendorpkwartier in Vlaardingen. Nice conversations with visitors admiring our work. It's a nice feeling to know new people are out there owning my art now ❤️ Also.. we learned small, light art is nice but when there is strong wind it tends to be blown away ? What do you think about art fairs? #artforsalebyartist #artfair

Playing with light again, this time with the sunlight that shines into my studio at the end of the day... The painting is the start of something new. The first playful layers where again I am exploring light. It's very busy still but I had so much fun making these marks, responding on the paint and the colours. I am curious how this will proceed. Are you curious to? Let me know ? #abstractartistsoninstagram #colourfulpainting

Each painting begins in silence — with color, movement, and a feeling I can’t quite name. I paint from intuition, layering shapes, textures, and traces of memory. The result is never exact, never perfect — but always honest. This is not about realism, but about emotion. About what happens when nature, imagination, and the subconscious meet. Let your eye wander. Let your thoughts drift. You don’t need to “get it” — just feel what it brings to you. This is only a small selection. Visit my website to see more. Type INFO for the link. #intuitiveart #acrylicpainting #natureinspiredart

Original paintings that bring calm and spark wonder. For those who love handmade, natural, and a touch of magic. Sometimes a space needs more than just decoration. It needs something that speaks. My paintings are created intuitively — layer by layer, guided by feeling rather than rules. They bring calm, invite wonder, and leave room for your own imagination. No prints, no mass production — just a one-of-a-kind piece that quietly resonates. ?️ Handmade | Nature-inspired | Layered & emotional #artwithsoul #acrylicpainting #intuitiveart

This week I was short of time, doing a webinar in my studio on how to improve my website. My eye kept going to a watercolour study I did a couple of years ago, with fantasy butterflies. It made me want to paint with watercolour again and these colours I chose to explore light further. I think the yellow green and dark indigo-blue make a great combination. And I just love painting fantasy things, non-existent butterflies this time. Why I keep getting drawn to watercolour? I love the challenge and the unexpected, the wet in wet and the layering. It also is a good exercise for me to stop in time, because things easily get overworked when too much paint is used. And it's super relaxing ? #watercolourbutterfly #fantasyillustration #butterfliesofinstagram?

Let's explore light. This is how I do it. With sketchbook explorations. Most of my paintings are created without a plan, but there is always something, a subconscious or conscious interest I have, that influences my process. It can be autumn colours, the transparency of water, the shape and texture of rocks or flowers, a landscape, or anything. It changes all the time because I hate repeating things. I don't force it, it just happens. And right now it's light. It always interested me, contrasts, sunlight, sunsets, shadows. Famous painters known for it, like Rembrandt and Turner. I always start with explorations, in my Sketchbook or on old canvases, trying things by playing with different materials. This time yellow, oranges, reds with black. Or leaving black out to see what happens. I love this part best. When I am trying things and making new discoveries which eventually will lead to something new. How do you feel about light in paintings? #lightinspired #sketchbooks #howtostart #newdiscoveries

These two paintings have been awaiting my final judgement for a while now. Something just wasn't right and it kept annoying me. Back to work ? ??? Usually I put my paintings away fir a while to decide if they are really finished. If it still feels good after that, I seal them and do the finishing touches like framing etc. If it doesn't, I continue, which sometimes means doing something drastic to get rid of the boring, beautiful part.

Exploration time! I have been interested in 'light' for some time now and recently I created a painting that makes me want to do more... Check the reel to see which painting I mean and how I start my Sketchbook explorations. Follow me to see where this will lead to. #sketchbooks

Prep for me means: - prepare new woodpanels by sanding them and putting gloss medium everywhere (steps 1 and 2) - prepare acrylicpaper by attaching the squares to a panel with tape and covering them in Gesso Now I wait for them to dry so I can continue with the next steps. Good preparation is half the work ? #beprepared #paintingpreparation

The fun part about being an artist is, you never stop learning! I discover new things all the time. I used to paint with oils for years and a few years ago started with acrylic paint. This is a different way of working also regarding the use of colours. So I keep watching tutorials to see if I can improve my work, always a good thing to do, and yesterday I watched a @louisefletcher_art video about her approach on colour mixing. I think I am not too bad at colour mixing. An old habit from my oilpainting is I always mix everything from the primary colours. But as I wrote, acrylic paint behaves a bit different so I decided to try out her approach. I chose cyan blue azo yellow and cadmium red to start with and started mixing and painting intuitively like I always do. It's a good way to discover the colours and combinations I like and how they look next to each other. #sketchbook #colourmixing

Your in the right place if you love nature inspired art that’s different. Like this girl smelling flowers. There is only one like her, I am sure of that, because I created her by painting intuitively. Painting intuitively means I start without a plan. I use different materials for the first layers, responding on what happens on the canvas without overthinking it. Sometimes something reveals itself, like this girl. In fact lately a lot of girls and flowers have been emerging from my subconscious. When this happens I try to make them more visible using acrylic paint. I love when old layers are still visible. If you know something about intuition, maybe you can explain why I keep painting flowers and girls? Take a look in my feed to see the others. It's starting to become a nice collection and when they are all finished, I will showcase them on my website. So stay tuned ? #natureinspired #subconciousmind

Abiut two years ago I was blocked, and then this happened: I came across this free taster course called Find your Joy hosted by @louisefletcher_art and it's the best thing that happened to me. It taught me to let go of some limiting beliefs I didn't even know I had. For example, I was focused on the end result, it had to become a pretty painting. I learned it's all about the process instead. I was working in oils at the time creating pretty paintings and it was unsatisfying. I learned I can use any material I want and can do anything I like. Anything that gives me joy. It felt like a door opening inside of me. Something I had known was there but didn't know how to reach, was released. Freedom! Now I paint without rules, subconsciously reacting to the paint. Intuitive painting it's called, using anything I feel like. This way of working means my paintings are unique, authentic and one of a kind. They show what inspires me most. #mindset

Anything that gives me joy. It felt like a door opening inside of me. Something I had known was there but didn't know how to reach, was released. Freedom! Now I paint without rules, subconsciously reacting to the paint. Intuitive painting it's called, using anything I feel like. This way of working means my paintings are unique, authentic and one of a kind. They show what inspires me most. #mindset
It's all about #mindset I rephrased some limiting beliefs that tend to popup from time to time. What are your limiting beliefs? Share with someone who needs this ❤️ #mindsetmatters

I named them 'Powerless'. Let me tell you why... During painting my subconscious took over and I was no longer thinking but responding to the paint in a flow. They are rough and expressive and I know why. My child has been ill and in pain for months now and the medical world has no answers. We both feel so powerless... When you look more closely you can see figures, faces, a little devil even. Did you see them? #expressingemotions #intuitivepainting

Nothing to add to my reel except 'Invite peace in your home with nature-inspired art' This is the last reel from seven I posted this week as part of the #resetwithreelschallenge3 to find my people. It didn't go exactly as planned because I became ill halfway. I am proud I managed to improvise and post anyway. Hopefully, it found you, my ideal follower, who loves what I create enough to keep following me. If you like, I can send you the link to my newsletter so you don't have to miss anything. Just type NEWS and I will send you the link. Thanks for following my art journey ❤️? Challenge hosted by @businesssecretsclub

I've been showing up daily for 6 days now—sharing my process, my thoughts, and the real “why” behind what I create. And I’ve learned so much already… about myself, about consistency, and about you—the ones who connect with what I do. Are you someone who loves small, nature-inspired art? Art that’s handmade, original, unique—and sparks a sense of wonder? Then you're in the right place. This reel is part of the #ResetWithReelsChallenge3 I'm doing to help the right people find me—people like you. @businesssecretsclub #natureinspiredart

This is exactly what I pictured my art would look like. Some of my paintings are in their new homes already. Some are waiting patiently on my website for someone to fall in love with too. Come take a look. Type INFO for the links. #ResetWithReelsChallenge3 @businesssecretsclub

I wonder, when you think of an artist, what do you think they do? In my case, it's not 'paint all day, every day'. This reel gives a small glimpse of all the things I do. I left out the admin, writing my monthly newsletter, the occasional Blogpost, buying art supplies, following a course, meeting with other artists and probably more ? And I didn't mention the marketing and sales activities either ? This reel is part of the #ResetWithReelsChallenge3 hosted by @businesssecretsclub The idea is to find my people, people who love my art and like to follow my journey. Are you my people? Then perhaps you can support me by following me ?

I bet you didn't know this yet, but all my art is one of a kind. This means there is only one original version in this world. No chance you will see a copy of my art anywhere, which means you will be the only one to own it after I packed it with care and sent it to your home. My art is usually small, maximum 50x60 cm so far. So it's perfect for a small wall. I will package it with care and send it to you safely. And in the Netherlands it's free of delivery cost. Check my highlights or website or shop to see my art (link in bio) or type INFO for the links. Don't forget to follow me in case you want to see my future, new work. #ResetWithReelsChallenge3 @businesssecretsclub

Yesterday I met two artist friends in Amsterdam, Kirstie @rememberwhenart from Australia and Rafaelle @rafaelleartworks We originally met each other through a fantastic online art community @unitedartspace and it was so nice to meet each other in person ❤️ Of course we mostly talked about art and we visited Rafaelles exhibition @galeriedunord_amsterdam . It was closed today so we peeked through the window to see her amazing art (do visit when you have the chance). ?????

That's all good and well, but what's the purpose of those small woodpanel paintings? Let me show you.... it will all become clear in the end ❤️? For my little 5x7 cm woodpanel mixed media acrylic paintings, I created little paper standards, which I glued on the back in such a way that you can open them, like a card. You can use it as a standard or write a nice greeting inside. So it's actually a greeting art card. Sort of, because this one ofcourse is for displaying, since it'san original, unique piece of art. Would you like to give this to someone to wish them well? Let me know who you would send it to ? Wishing you a lovely day! #artgift #greetingcard #wishingwell

My personal selection. I created many tiny mixed media paintings. The first 20 are reserved for Pakjekunst. The latest 14 will soon be available. These are my personal favourites from those 14. A couple more are still waiting to be finished. They are small woodpanels, 5x7 cm. Why so small? Pakjekunst asked for small art, and I decided to create some extra first fun. It turns out that a small painting takes as much time, maybe even more, as a big one... But because they are small, I will price them small too. So people who can't afford my bigger art can still acquire it. I also gave them an extra purpose. Apart from just enjoying it, you can also gift it to a dear one. On the back, there is a piece of paper attached where you can write a wish or greeting. Check my previous reel to see how I created that and how it works. If you wish to acquire one but can't wait for it to be listed in my shop? Type TINY, and I will help you. #affordableart #smallart #mixedmediapainting

I understand you worry if the art you bought will arrive at your home safely. That's why I package my artwork with love and care. For my smaller art, I use protective paper and a plastic foil bag. I add a handmade little card to thank you and put it in a strong envelope, including a piece of greybeard, so it won't bend. Check the reel to see it done. Did you know I recently listed new items in my shop? Go take a look, knowing it will be delivered to you safely. Would you like the link?

My art is rooted in nature — in its softness, textures, and quiet strength. Sometimes, I start with a clear image, like a bee or a wildflower. Other times, I let the paint lead — responding intuitively to colour, shape, and texture, as if guided by something deeper. I work with watercolour, handmade prints, and mixed media to capture moments of stillness, wonder, and connection. Each piece is a small reminder: beauty often lives in the quietest corners — both outside and within. Are you curious to see more?

⚠️This video has disturbing sounds... put sound on, but volume low 😁 if you dare... Not kidding! In case you are wondering, we have a renovation project downstairs. I started recording this video and wanted to explain what I was doing, but then.... Here, I prep little paper backs for my mini paintings. I got the idea yesterday to glue these on the back to use as standards, but also to write a greeting inside. This gives my mini's purpose: a gift, a "greeting card" that can be enjoyed for a long time. It's original and unique, handpainted art which I will soon sell in my shop and on a coming artfair. Sorry for the noise in the video 😊 I just wanted to share how I am still able to work in spite of it...
I would love your opinion! These small artworks are 18x13 cm and an expression of my feelings. Again, many layers. Usually, I continue to make a stronger composition, but then I often lose expressive spontaneous marks. Would you consider any of them a finished painting? Let me know in the comments. #artcollector #expressiveart #colourfulart #intuitivepainting #arttherapie

Inspiration close by ?? I don't have to go far, to get inspiration. My garden is full of it. For example, this explosion of Akelei with all the different shades of pink and purple and the bumblebees enjoying them. A sparrow flew by while I was filming this. They have made a birdnest in their tiny birdcottage on our shed and return there every year. I am so looking forward to all the plants that will flower the coming weeks ❤️? #gardeninspirations #paintingnature

POV: Smaller isn't easier! These small paintings, 5x7 cm, take the same amount of time to make as my larger ones. They also start with playful layers, adding more layers responding to the paint. Until one day, I feel it. They are finished. Each individual tiny painting is handmade, with an eye for detail, and none is the same. They make nice small gifts and don't take much space. Would you be interested in such a tiny painting? Perhaps with a line of text on the back, so you can gift them like you would give a wishing card? Or a space on the back for you to write on? Let me know what you think in the comments. #smallgift #giftideas #perfectgift

Monthly #modeldrawing with a live model. I love these repeating sessions because it's so different to draw or paint live than from a picture. You have to translate a 3D scene into a 2D composition and also get all the proportions right. Usually, I draw intuitively, occasionally checking for mistakes, such as making the leg too long, using shading to create more depth. Unfortunately, the artist who has been teaching these classes for decades, @lia.pencilpaint is going to retire. So the next lesson will be my last with her guidance. Thank you, Lia, for all your advice, help, and patience. There will be an exhibition with her and her students work @cultuurhuis.kade40 opening on the 5th of June. So come and have a look when you are around Vlaardingen. These drawings were made using charcoal. The fast poses in the end were drawn with waterbrush markers. I need to buy a new one; it seems nearly empty. I am curious which you like better. I prefer:

Bold or not? That's the question. These works in progress show how I start my paintings with many bold layers. I usually tend to quiet them down.

Bee flying to its new home soon ?? This week, I painted several floral watercolour artworks, most having a bumblebee flying around.

Do you spot the bumblebees? For an anniversary, I made a watercolour card, and while it was drying, I created some fantasy, floral paintings. I couldn't resist adding a tiny bumblebee on each of them because I love them. One painting has a tiny little elf as well. I love painting these sceneries with watercolour because they're so delicate, and I can achieve exactly the quiet, peaceful atmosphere I am looking for in the painting and in myself. If you are the kind of person who is looking for a small, original painting but hasn't succeeded so far, you are in the right place.

Impressions - Today was a watercolour day. For an anniversary I want to make a nice floral card and watercolour for me is the best medium to use because of it's natural flow. It's not an easy one, so I started with some playful painting first. Here I work on handmade cotton paper with a rough texture. #watercolour #watercolourflorals #intuitivepainting #floralpainting #anniversarycard

Let me show you around one of my favourite places to hike and get inspired. It's a nature area 5 mins from my home. Also, it's the first time I made a video of myself. Notice I am very natural looking too ? Can you spot the little bird? This hike gave me a lot of inspiration for my art ?? Enjoy my hike in #broekpoldervlaardingen Ps: I am not a photographer nor a videomaker, so I apologise in advance for that and for my bad English ? #broekpolder #vlaardingendoen #Vlaardingen #natuurbeleving #wandeleninnederland #putter

This hike gave me a lot of inspiration for my art 🌱🐝 Enjoy my hike in #broekpoldervlaardingen Ps: I am not a photographer nor a videomaker, so I apologise in advance for that and for my bad English 😅 #broekpolder #vlaardingendoen #Vlaardingen #natuurbeleving #wandeleninnederland #putter
It all went wrong. Yesterday I showed you my latest collage and that I didn't like it. The colours just weren't right. So today, I took out the gelliplate again to mix the right colours. I even painted over my collage to get them right. I think I got there in the end, so I hope for my next collage I will have the right colours available in my selfmade collagepaper collection. During my long walk today, I realised why I love using the gelliplate so much. It's because I love layers and textures, and that's what that plate is all about, isn't it? What do you think about layers and texture in paintings? #paintinglayers #the100dayproject @dothe100dayproject

Why girls? I don't know. I paint layers and layers with acrylic paint and other media using any technique I like, having fun, responding to the paint. I never start with a plan, I just let it happen. This can result in abstract paintings or figurative ones when something reveals itself. Lately, it's people, girls or women, usually watching something flowery. Like this latest one (work in progress) on woodpanel. Do you see her? It's turning into an unplanned collection ? #intuitivepainting #intuitiefschilderen

Pumpkin or flower? I notice lately in my intuitively made paintings that I often see women's faces thoughtfully looking, often at a flowery shape. I'm not sure yet what this means...

Taking Risks ? - Making a collage can be risky... The way I do it, I first cut the papers in the right shapes and check colour and composition before glueing them down. It's hard to keep them in place though ? Usually I put heavy objects on top to achieve that. With these abstract collage landscapes, I am making different art than I used to so far. I am wondering, dear followers and new passers, by what you think of this. I value your feedback, so let me know in the comments ❤️ Don't worry, I will continue to make my mixed media intuitive paintings as well. I create what gives me joy, in my own unique style. #mixedmedia #mixedmediaart #collagemixedmedia #acrylicpaintings #the100dayproject #dothe100dayprojectnl @dothe100dayproject #abstractlandscape

ALMOST missed it! National Beecount. The first slide shows the bee I spotted most in my garden: Sachembij. The second was very common, too, but not a bee, but Bijvlieg. Slide right to see my Meidoorn tree blossoming ? and to hear the birds in the reed during my walk ♥️ What has this to do with my art? It's my source of inspiration ✨️ and puts a smile on my face. My goal is to bring some of that joy through my art in your life and home. What makes you smile? Let me know in the comments #nationalebijentelling #nationalebijentelling2025

ALL PREPPED - Today I made new prints with my gelliplate. They will be used for my new abstract collage landscapes. I really enjoyed making the previous two of the Canadian and Portuguese landscapes and started a third, but I ran out of prints. The colours just weren't right. That's why I made a collection to catch the ocre yellows and blues of the Portuguese sandstone coast. I love the colours and textures I created, so I think I am ready to start next Monday. Stay tuned for the result What do you think of the prints I made? ????? Abstract collage landscapes, 19x19 cm Handmade collagepapers with my gelliplate and acrylic paint Available in my s h o p ?

Nor quite right.... Today, I couldn't find the right colours in my stack of prints, so I am not satisfied with this one yet. I will probably start a new one after making new prints ? #cantwait #dothe100dayproject2025 @dothe100dayproject #portugesesandstone

    Review Opdracht Portret

    Ik was op zoek naar een persoonlijk schilderij voor de kamer van mijn zoon van 11. Na veel verschillende kunstwerken en technieken van Joyce gezien te hebben, heb ik haar benaderd.

     Joyce was meteen enthousiast en dacht goed mee. Al mijn wensen kon ik uitspreken. Ik had er alle vertrouwen in dat zij er iets moois van zou maken. Maar het uiteindelijke resultaat was boven verwachting! Het is een persoonlijk en vooral

     uniek kunstwerk geworden waar mijn zoon mega trots op is.

     Bedankt Joyce, je bent een topper!

    Review Illustratie

    "Jouw tekeningen/aquarellen laten mij zien dat jij een bijzonder originele kijk hebt op het onderwerp. Ik bewonder de ogenschijnlijk eenvoudige manier waarop jij de sfeer weergeeft. 

    Wilma Worm doet mij nog steeds glimlachen."

    Review Karakter ontwikkeling

    "Wat jou uniek maakt: Dat je echt 'meedenkt'. Dat je ook wel eigen ideëen inbrengt, maar hier niet teveel aan vasthoudt. Voor mij is het ook heel fijn dat je affiniteit en verstand hebt van kinderen."
