I was born into a creative family in the Netherlands in the 1960's and I moved to the UK as a teenager in 1983.  

When my dad passed away in 2018, he left me his large collection of coloured pencils and I started to draw again. 

In 2024, I retired early to focus on my favourite pastimes,  both drawing and stone carving.

I get my inspiration from everyday life and the environment around me. 

I live in a small town called Cricklade 

I sell my greeting cards to a small number of independent shops.
