Having grown up in a rural village and later coming of age in larger cities, I remain drawn to the tension between these environments — and to the persistence of the natural world within them, indifferent to what gets built around it.

Working across long-term projects, I explore how foreign influence, urban development, and collective memory leave their marks on landscapes and communities.

My creative process moves between intuition and research. Traditional printing techniques blend with a keen sensitivity to light and color, producing images with warmth and intimacy, in both personal and commissioned work.

I hold a BA from the Royal Academy of Arts, The Hague, and am based in Amsterdam. My practice has been supported by the Mondriaan Fonds.
