Creativity has flowed through my life since childhood. From making bags and doll clothes, and crocheting to embroidering, flower arranging, scrapbooking, and building and furnishing a miniature dollhouse – I have always been busy creating something beautiful. It brings me joy, peace, and a deep sense of happiness.

A few years ago, I discovered painting, and from the very first moment, it felt like coming home. I took classes for a year with a Maastricht-based painter and immersed myself in new techniques and styles through countless masterclasses and workshops in Europe and the US. This only further fueled my love for color, form, and expression.

Painting gives me the space to bring together my feelings, memories, interests, and experiences in a way I don't find anywhere else. In each piece, I put a part of myself, hoping it also evokes warmth, recognition, or a smile in others.

Warm and creative greetings,
