Born on12-02-1950 at Tjilatjap, Indonesia. Since childhood I am passionate creative with various materials such as oil paint, leather, bronze, wood and etching. I currently work mostly with (combinations of) stone and enamel.

A stone sculpture is robust and it will become comfortably warm in the sun. My sculptures are usually pleasant to be touched. I myself enjoy the physical effort when sculpturing in stone and I like the variations in properties of different types of stone.

​By enamelling I can realize wonderful colors that are different, brighter, than for example in oil paintings. Creating ​images with enamel is challenging because you have to properly consider each successive step in the enamelling process in advance. You can make almost no corrections.

I make mostly three-dimensional art works because I like to see and feel objects from all sides, to walk around them, to view them from different perspectives. Although my work is figurative I try to leave room for individual interpretations. And my work is partly socially engaged since the lives of other people are most interesting  to me.

​Most of the art works on this site is for sale. I also make works of art on commission and I give small workshops in the Netherlands.

Over the years I have participated in group exhibitions in various Dutch museums including the Museum of Vlakglas - en Emaillekunst (Museum of Flat Glass and Enamel Art) in Ravenstein, Zeist Castle, museum Jan Cunen in Oss, museums in Rijswijk, Elburg, Epe and Nagele. I also participated in Art and Atelier Routes. As a member of the Association of Dutch Enamellers I deliver contributions to some of the committees.

In the past, I was educated and have had a PhD  as a movement scientist at the Free University of Amsterdam. Until my retirement I worked as a researcher and innovator in rehabilitation, especially the allied health professions. Currently I am coaching a few weeks per year in Bangladesh the students of the university Master of Science in Rehabilitation with respect to their thesis research.
