1974-1976 Rietveld Academy - Teaching degree, drawing and painting.
1976-1982 Rietveld Academy - Fine arts, painting and monumental design

At the Rietveld Art Academy I enjoyed the enormous offering and variety of subjects. Besides majoring in painting I studied photography, sculpture and monumental design.
Since graduating, I focused primarily on commissioned portraits not only in the Netherlands, but from all over the world.

As of last year, I've changed my focus and am concentrating on free creations. Recently, I started "The Garbage Collection", a series of acrylic paintings on canvas. The source of inspiration is our daily waste, as a witness of the fast transience of matter and events in this modern age. These paintings are scheduled to be exhibited in the fall of 2006.
