on the 52M Barge

I am a Belgian artist and singer based in Ennis where I settled after living in Asia for over a decade.

As a teenager I started pursuing art but I ended up studying Archaeology at the University. While at Uni however, most of my evenings were spent in evening classes drawing live models or singing and rehearsing with my band.

For me, to draw and to paint is to love. It feels like I create an intimate relationship with what I’m drawing or painting. It’s a labour of love, observingthe subject so intimately, becoming so familiar and connected with what I’m drawing and the end result is pure love and affection for that something.

I’ll be showing some intuitive drawings as well as faces and flowers in my preferred mediums, pencil, pen and colourful paint.
