Work
Been working for 25 years+ at Wageningen University as a Botanical Scientific Illustrator at Taxonomy. Scientific illustrations are used in taxonomic plant research and published in journals, flora’s and thesis’s. Most often plants are drawn true size and slightly decreased when published. Unfortunately only few are at work as Scientific Illustrator are different choices have been made by Universities.
Memberships
Full member of the Dutch Society of Botanical Artist since 2007 and Teacher Botanical drawing. Organising courses and workshops in collaboration with the Society.
Method
Preferred techniques are pen and ink, and graphite, occasionally using coloured pencil or a combination of techniques. I enjoy being able to share my technical knowledge and love for nature.
Participated in several exhibitions; i.e. Paleis Het Loo, Kew Gardens Londen, Noordbrabants Museum Den Bosch and Zwarte Tulp in Lisse.
