Part Dutch and Native American, brought up in Europe, Canada ,the States and Latin America and now living in Australia; a world citizen enjoying every moment that this life is giving me. Having such a diverse background I feel very privileged on how it shows up in my art (be it paintings or wearable art) so universal and yet so special. I am an avid spinner, dyer, weaver and knitter: Love fluffy and hairy animals ! and always searching on how to make that extra special yarn for that extra special design ! My hubby and me have an all organic fibre farm in beautiful Yarra Valley, Victoria, Australia, where we all tread lightly on Mother Earth. Colour your spirit !
