The contrasts associated with being born during the Nazi occupation of Holland, and then a few years later, emigrating to the tropics of Australia with my parents made a lasting impression on my memories. I vividly remember the amazing differences of the life and lifestyles in bustling Amsterdam from the laid-back approaches to the lifestyle and culture of tropical North Queensland in those immediate W.W.2 post-war times.

These impressions, I'm sure, impacted on my young consciousness leading me to express my love for these, through painting and lately through writing. I wanted to record my experiences - some amusing, some not - with paint and pen.
