Artist Bio
I'm a self-thaught artist (1965), born in Amsterdam, moved to New Zealand 10 years ago and then moved to Australia, Maitland in 2017. I'm an artist from profession (painting on canvas) since the early nineties and exhibited in different galleries in Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
Since I moved to Australia I'm running an art studio in High St, Maitland called 'Studio Amsterdam', where I sell my originals and limited edition prints. The last couple of years I became interested and inspired to create public art.
My first large scale public artwork was a mural I did in 2018 the CBD of Maitland. It was an 18 x 9 meter wall and commissioned by the Council. Another, recently done large scale public artwork was a mural in Newcastle. It was part of 'The Big Picture Fest' where 12 artists painted 12 walls within a week. Last year I also did some 'rugs' on the streets of Morpeth and Newcastle, along with some murals for businesses. The public art projects are always done with my husband/team member Frank.
