PORTFOLIO

For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for creating. With the shining example of my parents, the creative skills were in fact instilled in me from a young age. Even in my early childhood, not a birthday or Sinterklaas celebration went by for my brother Gerrie and me without receiving scale models of boats, airplanes and cars as a gift and then putting them together as quickly and as well as possible.

A little later I joined the model building club with my brother during high school, where the challenges of assembling or building scale models gradually increased.

​

Furthermore, the frequent visits to my very creative uncle Sjef Drummen and many of his creative children in his large studio on the Heerlerbaan, a suburb of Heerlen, are still etched in my memory. Perhaps it was his enormous versatility that also broadened my creative portfolio; because he made watercolors, oil canvases, pen drawings, wooden statues, bronze statues, ceramics and Stations of the Cross, with a good chance that I am forgetting something...

​

I would like to invite you to view the various 'creation families' of my portfolio; each is introduced by a brief description or a single anecdote. I hope watching it gives you at least a fraction of the pleasure I got from making it. And if, in addition to having fun, it can also encourage you to take up your own creative process, that would be absolutely great.​
