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. 

I have been drawing ever since and get my inspiration from everyday life and the environment around me.  

I started attending stone carving classes in Cirencester just over 3 years ago and wish I had begun a lot sooner as it gives me so much pleasure.

I live in a small town called Cricklade (famous for its Fritillary flowers) with my husband and airdale.
