Well about me, not a person of many words, but okay here goes:
I was born in The Netherlands (a.k.a. Holland) I emigrated to New Zealand almost 17 years ago and have just recently moved from Christchurch to the Bay of Plenty. I grew up in a 'creating' home environment, Mom was always busy with crafts of some sort and Dad was our inventor from his backyard shed. I had a great Art teacher at High-school who really inspired me and edged me on in the creative field. I ended up working with fabrics firstly when I studied at the 'Academie de Couture'
(Fashion Academy and textile arts) in Rotterdam. I also designed covers for computer-games (mostly Science Fiction) on a free-lance basis and worked in a variety of areas in the fashion industry from concept design to creations.
My re-focussing to sketching and painting began again when the feeling to create images on paper, wood or canvas won from the other creative exploits, still like to include fabrics if I can.
So I mainly work with Mixed Media on wood panels or canvas, that gives me the freedom to choose whatever medium fancies me at that moment or for that particular project. My work is probably best described as whimsical illustrative and stylized with little folk art touches.
Thanks so much for your visit, do come back every now and then ♥

So once i have my image printed onto transparency film, I take my Ezscreen silk screen which has been coated in light sensitive emulsion (These sheets come pre-coated so they are ready to use). Place it onto a black board, then place the transparency image on top (this part needs to be done in a dark room with no direct sunlight). I take it outside and expose it for 1 minute and 40 seconds (but time varies depending on time of day and strength of sunlight). After i have exposed the image i place it into a tub of water for around 5 - 8 minutes. Then i rinse the screen out under fast running water until the unexposed area (the black) washes away. I then expose the screen to the sun for a further 20mins to completely harden the light sensitive emulsion.
And this is the completed screen ready for printing. I simply use an old credit card to spread the ink over the screen making sure i do one complete full stroke across the screen (holding the credit card at a 45 degree angle). I immediately wash the screen out under fast flowing water and pat dry. I use fabric screen printing ink which washes out in water (which makes the process easy).
I love this product, their website is http://ezscreenprint.com/ (for full instructions and details on how to purchase this awesome product).
