PERSONAL HISTORY

Born: Rijssen, Netherlands, 1962.

Commitment to art has always been the centre of my life, not so with committing to following typical schools or career paths. It put me, as basically a self-taught artist, on a long and arduous road in my work in which I concentrated mostly on developing my ideas and my work through writing. Although it has been rewarding, only since 2000 have I let myself move into doing shows. Traveling between Amsterdam and Boulder (and America for that matter) since 2001, has been a big incentive and influence on my work recently.
