Because of work of her husband she lived, besides in the Netherlands, in several countries overseas; from 1979 till 1997 in Libya, Nigeria, East Malysia, Philippines, Malawi, and in Bangladesh where she took up painting seriously.

Back in the Netherlands she resumed attending several painting classes, namely model, portret and abstract. In 2009 travelling started again with short periods in Samoa and Vietnam (Hanoi). From 2010 till 2012 she joined her husband to live in Banda Aceh, Sumatra, Indonesia. She got to appreciate the landschape and people of Aceh very much while making long and very regular walks along the padifields and through the kampongs (villages). This made her start to paint landscape for the first time and resulted in a series of paintings of Aceh on canvas. In 2013 she lived in Port of Spain, Trinidad, for a 3,5 months. The diversity of the population there made her paint a series of portrets of Trinis.

Photography had always her interest, but since she got a digital mirror reflex camera in 2007 photography became more important to her and she loves it as much as painting.

At first she mainly began to capture abstraction in shapes of shadows and light. Slowly her focus broadened, especially in Aceh, to portrets, reflection in water and glas, landscape and streetscenes and more.
