About Janine

I have known the love for painting and drawing since childhood. After studying Economics, I worked in business for several years. Being blessed with two sons and two daughters I started to professionalize my art business. For many years I have painted flowers, exhibited and given workshops. My flower paintings have found their destination worldwide and still do. Impressionism also made my heart beat faster and gave me a new range of techniques. I was able to master classical portrait painting from the old techniques. At the moment I combine a lot of my experience and techniques in one painting.

I do a lot of commissioned work, but I also like to develop my own designs into new sources of inspiration to the art lover.

Somehow my heart has to speak when I'm painting. I need to feel the subject, the colors, the lines, the lights and the darks. Only then the painting comes to life, no matter what the subject is.

Education:

At the Gooise Academy in Laren and the Angel Academy of Arts in Florence, I was able to develop impressionism and classical portrait painting, respectively. And for the greatest part of my education I'm a self taught artist with many inspirational hours.
