Let me tell you a bit about Β myself.
I was born in South Africa and emigrated toΒ theΒ Netherlands in 2002 after marrying my DUTCHΒ Β husband.Β We haveΒ Β 2 lovely teenagers, Charlize and Fabian.Β Β Together weΒ live in a small coastal town in the northern part of The Netherlands.
βI am a mixed media Artist, Art JOurnaler and Product Designer.
βI am a signature Β designer for different craft companies :Β Studio Light, The Crafters Workshop, ArtfoamiesΒ and Grafixarts. I just love making designs that people can use in their art!
ArtΒ journaling is something I do Β daily and in my experience, it can brightens up, even the mostΒ dreary day.Β Β I try to work in several art styles, not limiting myself to man setΒ borders. I believe that it is part of my creative freedom to explore all styles that IΒ like and that itΒ broadens not only my view of art, but the all over experience too.
My artistic trademark is probably my use of bright & happy colours , Whimsical style and decorativeΒ Β details. Β My work is full of layers, movement, vibrant colors and lots of contrast!
Having worked exclusively as an acrylic artist for several years before entering The arts & Crafts world, Β MyΒ art can be found in Private collections in England, south africa, australia, argentina, u.s.a, canada, germany, namibie, kuwait, u.a.e. and Holland.Β
I am proud to be a guest tutor in several e-courses and being able to represent gel press as an artist educater.
