inspired by nature
I am an artist with passion for gardens, drawing and writing
I love flora and landscapes, birds and trees. I love the singing of the blackbird in the evening, the smell of honeysuckle and the taste of wild strawberries. I am passionate about gardens and the importance of harmony with nature for our lives. I design (ecological) gardens and to help knowledge of biodiversity and nature I illustrate and write children books. I make art so you will have always a little piece of hapiness in your home.

Oli en Koer
Oli her grandmother has died and she tries to tell her friend Koer, but Koer lost his nest, shall they be able to help each other? picture book.
I wrote and draw this book because my mother died and I saw how my son reacted and this loss. And when I read that elephants really cried when loosing a family member it was for me clear that one of the main characters should be an elephant. also elephants are endangered species.
Tos, albatross
a leporello about the life of an albatross written in poems.
Also albatrosses are endangered species this is the biggest flying bird on earth and they have special habits. They are monogamous and when they see their partner againafter a year they really cuddle each other so lovely!

In the Netherlands the numbers of sparrows are declining and I could not imagine that children would grow up without chattering sparrows….
