Painting is a means of expression, of communication. To achieve that objective, I need figurative painting. I achieve that objective with subjects ranging from the human figure to still life. When it comes to the human figure, being a woman helps me identify with and understand the female figure better.

I try to paint women from a woman’s point of view… from the inside, so to speak. Women with experiences, memories, worries and happiness. Strong women. They are not decorative.
