About the artist

I create angels as quiet companions.

I grew up in the Netherlands, surrounded by a culture of openness, craft and a close connection to nature. Later, I moved to Germany, where I completed my art education and continued to develop my own artistic language.

My angel paintings and wooden angels grow from a love of natural materials, gentle colours and the small moments that bring light into everyday life.

Each piece is made by hand and carries its own expression. I work intuitively, allowing colour, wood and form to guide the process until an individual character appears.

This gallery is a place for these works — and for the warmth, protection and wonder they may offer.
