Introduction Welcome to my blog. I like to share my creative journey and my daily life with you on my blog. New Zealand is my home and after the Christchurch earthquakes in 2011 were we lived as a family for nearly 28 years, my husband Henk and I moved to Mapua, near Nelson. In October 2014 we moved to Upper Moutere and bought a small cottage with half an acre of garden. In January 2015 Ollie, our new dog was added to the family and we have four chickens and a cat called Garfield. My creativity is in painting and drawing, gardening and teaching art and craft to children and adults.
Interests painting, drawing, crafts, sewing, walking, reading
Favorite Movies To many to all mention, but I love movies with actors Richard Gere and Johnny Depp. Chocolate with Johnny Depp was great. There are very good New Zealand movies I enjoy, like the Piano and Whale rider.
Favorite Music Any good and relaxing listening music.
Favorite Books Lots and lots of good art books and historic novels.
