I Write Therefore I Am
I have a chequered resume and I like it that way. It keeps me sharp and assures that I am constantly evolving. I take pride in my versatility as a writer in many genres; writing poetry and performing Spoken Word text, creating feature articles for diverse publications, and much more depending on my mood. As a lyricist, I write (and co-write) song lyrics for jazz and pop singers. I also take a mean portrait with my analogue (and digital) cameras. My exclusive portraits of 70s icons are available for purchase. Although I am not necessarily seeking new assignments, I am always open to new challenges. Welcome to my website.
COPY WRITER
As a copy writer, I have developed projects for multi-national companies like KLM, KPMG, and Heineken, as well as for independent designers and entrepreneurs like Hester van Eeghen, Marianne Vanderwilt, and the International Writer’s Collective. My assignments ranged from press releases and promotional material, speeches, newsletters, and campaign themes. I also have a penchant for writing slogans and will take on any challenge with a smile.
PHOTOGRAPHY
I am an analogue woman in a digital world and still make portraits with my analogue (and one digital) cameras. My specialty is capturing the spirit of my subjects in their home and work environments. I use black and white film (and occasionally color) and available light. My portraits have been likened to “internal x-rays”.
CHARLES BUKOWSKI
I met Charles Bukowski after Glen Esterly, a colleague and friend, invited me to photograph the not-yet-legendary poet, for a profile he was going to do for Rolling Stone. Tempting as it was to finally grace the pages of the respected counter-culture music publication, I initially refused.
