WORKS OF ART

ARE

LANDSCAPES OF

THE SOUL

The beauty

of the everyday

In primary school, I once won a prize for my herbarium. I had compiled that book with great care. For hours, I had cycled through our village looking for leaves of different trees and shrubs. At home, I put them like treasures in my little press to dry, after which I carefully pasted them and neatly wrote all the names. How proud I was when I received a beautiful bird book as a prize at the town hall!

When I walk the dog through my town now, I sometimes think back to my passion for collecting herbariums back then and the pleasure I got out of it. This attentiveness to my surroundings was there from an early age, and I still have an eye for detail. I often see the beauty in small everyday things. A beautiful field with poppies, the blossom of a Japanese cherry on the corner of the street, the morning light falling so beautifully on the leaves of a tree, a vista in a landscape. I often then take a photograph to capture this. In my studio, I work out these natural treasures on canvas. This is how I try to pass on the beauty I find in nature to others.
