PORT STANLEY LIGHTHOUSE Watercolour
SAIL BOAT Watercolour
SUNSET BEACH Watercolour
Born in the Netherlands I came to Canada at a young age. Art and creativity have always been part of my life. I am a self-taught watercolor painter and picked this media, some 25 years ago, because I thought it looked easy. Wrong.

​I used my inability, with this tricky media, to develop some of my own styles. For a long time, they hid my perceived (and actual) deficiencies but now, that I have some comfort with this media, they are how I see things.​

Combined with my love of traveling I have focused my artistic attentions to landscapes, buildings and beaches in a variety of locales including Florida, throughout Canada, Ireland, Barbados, Bermuda, Mexico, Spain, and the Netherlands.
The art I present at the Art Emporium is almost entirely created in Port Stanley. It includes landmarks but also vistas of beach life.
