JOLANDA BAKKER

I am born in 1981 and raised in Middenmeer in the Netherlands. I live in Schagen together with my husband and two children... I get my inspiration by being outside in nature, just when i was a child in Middenmeer; walking, kayaking or by boat. I make pictures for inspiration. The small details of nature inspires me endless and also the beautiful colors and sunlight. I combine impressionism and more expressionism in my work, so i can create my own world from what i have seen into a homely atmosphere and harmonic and serene ambiance. Old fashioned but Modern, i paint loosely and colorfully. I'm inspired by Matisse, Monet and David Hockney.
