    - Zand en IJskunstenaar -

    Nederlands Ik ben een kunstenaar die in zeer verschillende materialen en media werkt. Mijn opleiding heb ik genoten aan de Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam. In 2001 werd ik gevraagd voor een kunsttenttoonstelling in Egmond aan Zee, bij De Prins Hendrik Stichting ter gelegenheid van het 275 jarige bestaan. Voor dit oude zeelieden rusthuis heb ik mijn eerste zandsculptuur gemaakt, een zeemeermin die over de duinen uitkijkt. Sindsdien maak ik beelden over de hele wereld op zandsculptuur festivals en wedstrijden. In 2004 ben ik begonnen met ijsscupturen.
