My creative journey began in 1992. Between 1992 and 1998, I produced approximately 450 works in oil on wood and pastel. In 2002, the majority of this collection was destroyed.  Alongside numerous portraits, the core of this work was inspired by 'unfinished memories' from my early childhood. From February 1993-1995, these pieces emerged through a two years during period of intense and intrusive reliving—a process in isolation, triggered by the tragic death of the toddler James Bulger in February 1993, which marked a deep turning point in my life.

The work was further shaped by fragmented memories of the children's home 'Helper Haven' in Groningen (NL). These depictions of infants and toddlers were initially captured in oil paint and later in pastel on paper. Please note that the images presented here are not high-resolution, as they were photographed in 2001 and digitized in 2016. A small part (ca 30-40 works, mainly portraits)  of the original collection (about 480 pieces)  is still available.
