New ART-BAGS and new PAINTINGS

My website has been updated with several new paintings.
Some of them will be exhibited in a few days on LINEART 2010, Gent - Belgium, booth 1461 of Gallery ART-ist. (www.lineart.be)

Also, when you click the button PROJECTS, you will see new art-bags.
I finally found the time to photograph them in a proper way.
For more info on the art-bags you can contact me.

Portable-Art collection 2010.

Last year I did a project called Portable-Art.
The idea came up, and after a lot of experimenting a collection of art-bags appeared.
I got really awesome reactions on the art-bags (fully created and manufactured by myself, which cost me days for one bag).
But I got fed up with the very meticulous process of manufacturing and finished the project. Back to my large paintings (what a relief!!!)
However, I still love the idea and still receive great reactions. 2 weeks ago suddenly a new variation arose in my mind and I started experimenting again with new art-bags.
Above a first peek. A close-up of an art-bag of the 2010-collection under construction. The first new bags will be exhibited on BLOOOM, the creative industries art fair in Cologne (Oct 28 - Nov. 1). When the collection is ready I'll add it to the Portable-art page on the Project-page of my website (I need to update the old page).

In the Spotlight on O+

No shortcomings for media-attention lately!
This time an interview about me on www.oplus.nu.
I'm in the 'spotlight' all week.

O+ is a Dutch website for and about women in business. Its goal is to connect female entrepreneurs. I don't see myself as a business woman, but I cannot deny the fact that being an artist makes that I have to be a business woman as well. So I'm proud they've asked me!
