I work where worlds collide; where Jewish stories meet contemporary life, and where spirituality brushes against popular culture, beauty against environmental crisis, history against the world we live in now. I look to elevate what is already there: what has been cast aside, what has been inherited, what has been wounded, and what is in danger of being forgotten.

I work primarily in painting, and also in installation, and new media.

What interests me is the moment something ancient is set in a new context, and the moment something personal opens into something shared. I was born in the Netherlands and have made my home in New York. Moving between cultures has made me alert to identity, belonging, and the stories we carry.

Heritage, ecology, and spirituality are the main themes of my work. Jewish tradition is part of my visual language, but I approach it with curiosity: I reinterpret and  question. Water runs through much of what I make. It links immersion and transformation to the condition of our oceans and our responsibility to the living world.

For me, making art is a way of looking beneath the surface; of stories, traditions, landscapes, and ourselves, and discovering what connects us.
