Welcome To My Creative Universe
If you made it to this page, you’re probably curious about the person behind the canvas. Or maybe you're wondering how a Dutch girl ended up painting massive murals in the French countryside.
Either way, I'm so glad you're here. Because there is so much more, that you don't know...
This page is a peek behind the studio doors, not just a list of where I studied or what I've sold, but the story of why I do what I do, and how my life and art completely bleed into one another.
They Are All Different Dialects Of The Exact Same Language: Connection
For me, there is no boundary between curating an exhibition, designing a layout, teaching a class, or painting a ceiling. As an artist-researcher, I don’t believe in sitting neatly in a box. Over the course of my career, I have worn many hats: fine art teacher, graphic designer, curator, art therapist, and contemporary artist.
The Medium Is Just the Vehicle; The Destination Is Always Human Connection
From the outside, it might look like a wild, scattered mix of mediums, installations of inflated plastic bags, interactive video performances, charcoal on canvas, or working with students in community workshops.
But to me, they are inseparable. When I teach, I am curating a space for growth. When I paint, I am performing an intimate, silent dance on canvas. When I design, I am building visual logic. Every single medium I touch is simply another tool to disrupt expectations, invite you into a playful game, and open up spaces where we can meet face-to-face.
If You Look At My Collections Side-By-Side, A Profound Arc Begins To Unfold
Navigating from the rigid systems that condition us, into the silent landscapes of our own minds, and finally back to our shared, sacred origins. Ultimately, I don't want you to just stare at my work. I want you to step into it, play with it, rewrite it, and realize that you are the sole author of your own reality.
I Come As One, But Stand As Ten Thousand
I started by looking outward with Mapping an Œuvre and How to Become a Terrorist, dissecting and challenging how society, gender norms, and systemic surveillance condition our bodies and minds.
Then, during periods of isolation and lockdown, my perspective turned radically inward. In Residue of Living and Kinetic Transmutations, I mapped the internal geographies of unrooting, processing trauma, and learning the difficult art of surrendering control.
Today, that journey has brought me to La et DIEU, where I look up and forward. By pulling historical conditioning apart, I am exploring our collective spiritual origins, our lineages, and the beautiful, invisible threads that reconnect us all.
Every Exhibition, Residency, And Workshop Has Been A Stepping Stone Toward Absolute Creative Freedom
This timeline represents years of showing up in front of the blank wall, diving into deep academic research, and fighting to make art a living, breathing social tool. Below, I’ve compiled the complete, unfiltered chronicle of my professional practice.
The Nitty Gritty Aritstic CV
My artistic path began in the Netherlands, studying fine arts at MAFAD in Maastricht and spending an incredible Erasmus year at the ENSBA in Paris.
Since establishing my permanent studio in France in 2017, I've had the privilege of exhibiting in international galleries, completing residencies, and now starting a post-graduate certification in Artistic Partnerships & Social Interventions (CEPIA) at the ENSA in Bourges.
