The short story

I love my life! My number one priority is to feel good, so I love letting my hair down and having a good laugh.

I love my clients, especially when they become a friend! It's such a wonderful feeling to click with someone who wants to suround himself or herself with my art. I appreciate that they, too, love having beautiful things.

I consider myself a child of the universe although I grew up in the US, the daughter of Norwegian parents. (No, I don't eat lutefisk, but I do love clogs.) I've since added Dutch to my list of natonalities, and a friend once joked that I should become Indonesian next. Hey, why not?

I share an uncomplicated life with my filmmaker / photographer husband, Armand Dijcks. He's my true love and partner in all things. We share our modern, minimalist Rotterdam home with two mischievous black cats named Pookie and Izzy, both of whom keep us laughing, smiling, and sometimes even singing and dancing!
