I was always very creative, but at a very low point in my life, I decided I wanted to learn how to use alcohol inks. From the very first moment I found such joy creating art with these vibrant inks, that what started as an effort to improve my well being, developed into a passion! Although initially the fact that the ink seemed to have a mind of its own, caused some stress for me as a bit of a perfectionist, I did eventually share my art with family and friends, albeit with some trepidation.
One day I transferred a photo to fabric and started embroidering on it. And this work grew and grew with embroidered phantasy things and with copied real things. The work is called 'Amsterdam is changing' and it started a new way of looking at my work.
