We certainly enjoyed it too.

Book launch DichtKunst 2023
On Sunday, September 17, 2023, we launched our book "Aanuit, dichtkunst" (ON OUT, poetry)! Together with writer Sandra Kuipers from Alkmaar, I worked passionately on our book "Aanuit, dichtkunst" (ON OUT, poetry). Sandra wrote over 50 contemporary poems, half of which feature visual artwork by me.
These include paintings, screen prints, watercolors, lino prints, etc. An original book that we proudly completed after a year and a half and want to show. The launch was a great success with a garden full of guests, cheerfulness, poems, art, and music.
The book AANUIT is available in the webshop and several bookstores!
