Following my passion in painting and drawing. I got that urge to create again, that I had as a child. I longed to feel that joy again. In my early fifties I finally found the courage to start painting lessons and came across a wonderful teacher. She gave plenty of room to wiggle within the painting assignments and bit by bit I get more self-confidence and feel that joy again. During my early retirement I study at Academic drawing and painting at the Vrije Academie Nunspeet to improve my skills. I learned that the freedom in creating and to experiment are very important to me and I am grateful to regained my true passion again.
