As a child I was always drawing and 'making' creations. Whether it was artistic or practical it did not matter as long as I was creating. Hence my choice for attending the Design Academy in Eindhoven was a logical step. I graduated in 1986 as a graphic designer and started my own studio (www.dilect.nl). Ever since I have worked as a designer and enjoyed doing so. However I neglected my passion for drawing.
When opportunity arouse in 2010 to start drawing models my enthusiasm was again reawakened.
For quite a while I only made figure drawing (sketches, collages and paintings). Lately my inspiration comes from the 'nature' surrounding me.
