About me
I am a poet and artist from an island in the North of the Netherlands
living and working since 2018 in Loshult - a small village in the South of Sweden.
I have been writing poetry from when I was 6 years old - experiencing magic when rhyming
De bladeren waaien/ het lijkt net of ze zwaaien (free translated) branches of a tree - with waving at me.
After studying fine art in education and creative writing in Amsterdam I landed home surrounded by the trees of South Sweden.
I have been listening more and more to the stories and lines of nature, especially the trees.
Next to my poetry and visual art I create space to listen to each others stories and the stories of nature.
Galleri
Fyra Vindar
You can see my art and poetry
in real life
in my summer home gallery
in Loshult - a small lovely village
in the South of Sweden.
Art & Story atelier
I offer one group for kids
and one for adults.
You learn to find inspiration, experiment with techniques and find the words and images
for stories with and around you.
