Let me tell you a little about myself. I was born in Indonesia and I am a Dutch Citizen. My parents immigrated in 1960 to Camarillo, California, USA from the Netherlands.
I never thought that we ended up in the United States. I am so happy that we did, and ending up here in California what more perfect place to be.
Like many artists my love of art started in childhood. I remember winning my first Art contest when I was ten years old in Maastricht, Netherland.
My piece of art was used for their milk advertisement in a magazine and cash.
However for the last forty years, had a full time job and raised two kids and have five grandchildren that occupied my life. All the while my heart dreamed of one day to do my art full time.
