After getting my master degree at the University of the Arts in '89 (HKU) I was mainly concerned with visual art and its commercial applications in the media. Through the years she has developed an interest in the senses and – more specific – the olfactory sense: scents, odors, aromas. The sense of smell, natural smells and scent perception have my greatest fascination. It has become the heart of the olfactory art I make. Installations and objects with scent in which the psychological effect and symbolism of scent always occupies a prominent place.

In order to establish a firmer knowledge base concerning the functioning and effects of scents she followed a professional study on naturopathic aromatherapy and the psychology and psychoanalytic ideas of C.G. Jung.

​

I share this knowledge through lectures, workshops, publications, radio shows, performances (photo) and my olfactory art.

​

My latest book, on scent psychology (Dutch language), is to be expected this autumn, by publisher Akasha. MY art can be experienced in various settings and exhibitions. See AGENDA

The scents I use have an advantage. They are essential oils from recognized distillers and my own distillation. They are all natural; organic and unprocessed.

IBEE keeper (to bee and not to bee)

Because nature matters.

And besides that, did you know bees have an amazing scent vocabulary?
