Shine my light

Hi! Since you are visiting my website I like to introduce myself. I used to think it’s not okay to put yourself out there like this (because it didn’t work very well for me when I was a young kid), but I changed, I think it’s fine to ‘shine my light!’. So I now have this good looking website to show my art and share my stories. 

The facts: I’m 35 years old and I’m living on a small island in The Caribbean called Bonaire. I’m lucky and grateful to have a very sweet, funny and handsome husband, a little happy boy of 2 and a baby boy. I once studied Industrial Design Engineering but never really liked the ‘industrial’ and ‘engineering’ part very much. I even finished my Masters because you know, that’s what people do….😝 As a kid I dreamed of being world champion speedskating but that obviously never happened because of several reasons (although I won some prices and really did everything I could), but one of them is definitely the ‘believe in yourself’ part.

Later on I discovered my heart really loves to make art and now it’s my dream to have a big (sunny) studio surrounded by a fruit and vegetable garden and be able to live a free, sustainable and joyful life together with friends and family. I’m looking forward to share the love!

I used to think that goals should be achieved by hard work and blood, sweat and tears. But I now know that this is not the way. It’s all energy and when we are not in alignment it’s not happening. I now know that the world will become a better place if everybody listens to their heart. We are all part of the (beautiful future) puzzle and the answer lies within us. So I’m on this 🧚🏻‍♀️🧘🏽‍♂️ journey lately and will sometimes share something about it.
I will continue to make art and hopefully make people happy by doing so. At least it makes me happy 😀
