contact me I know I should've made an update long ago but I'm so busy with a lot of things. Right now, I do two university studies at the same time: Biology and Psychology. I like it both and I probably wanna do other things as well. After I came back from the US two years ago, I never painted again. Well, just things like painting on the walla and making al ittle funny drawing here and there (a decoration for y house) I wanna paint my ceilign with clouds and angels but that's a huge job and it'll cost me a lot of paint.
I'm also waiting for my new computer. My old one broke down so I haven't been able to make a decent update in the lay-out of my page. When my new computer arrives, I'll see what I can do.

It's been a long time since I've updated this homepage because of my stay in the USA for 1 year. I now got my programmes and a computer available so I can start updating agian. I'm working on a new design for my homepage dedicated to my stay in California (Costa Mesa: right under LA) and faster loading. Also I'm planning on making a lot of paintings and drawings since I brought all my paints and brushes with me. I will also scan those paintings and add them to my California painting section. I'm also looking for art galleries in the neighbourhood (Newport beach, Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa and Laguna Beach) to display my work so if you live in that neighbourhood, keep visiting my "My Exhibition" page often to know where you can see my paintings on display or let me knwo that you are interested and I will contact you as soon as my paintings are on display somewhere. I've also got 2 more exhibitions planned in Holland for when I go back (May). I will also make some new desktop paintings for you to download.
In the mean while you can contact me with questions or comments through:

Any art gallery in orange county or LA county that is interested in any of my paintings, please contact me.
