I was asked to create the portraits of two beautiful little ladies, Maud & Krista, as a surprise gift for their father.
First I did a photoshoot with the girls. Then I combined their own handwritten messages for their father, together with some personal items and my own handwriting with the lyrics of their favorite songs, on the portrait.
The portraits were luxury printed on canvas, size 70x70 cm.
Maud and her portrait.
Me, signing the works.

Lately I am very busy working on a new book for A.W. Bruna Publishers.
The book is called 'Plan B' and will be a compilation of 20 interviews with people who did a big career switch to follow their heart and dreams. Journalist/writer and sparkling woman Sabine Leenhouts writes the book and I do all the photography, illustrations and the cover art. It's great and so inspiring to meet all these wonderful and courageous people who turn their dreams into action, because that's what life is all about!

For 'Plan B', the book I am working on, I photographed artist Mariska Meijers.
Her art, beautiful studio and her energy was one inspiring, wonderful, beautiful color explosion!
She wrote a blog about my work.

'On Friday, I’m hosting “On The Way To Golden Freedom”. We will be holding a ‘Beneficial Vernissage for Peace “En Paz“‘ presenting the dutch artist Lisette De Zoete who beautifully mixes handwriting with illustrations, photography and murals. Be sure to be positively amazed when you see what she brings to Sichtbar! I love her work!

'Launch von "En Paz" auf der Friedensvernissage von Cosma Shiva Hagen'
'Lisette de Zoete, eine junge Künstlerin aus Amsterdam, stellt ihre Bilder aus: in jedem Bild kann man ein Wort entdecken wie zb. MISTAKE; PROMISE; CHANGE; somit kann jeder an sich adressierte versteckte Botschaften für die Friedensthematik entdecken und interpretieren. Ihr Anliegen ist es, Gefühle und reine Wahrheiten darzustellen, in denen der Betrachter sich wiederfinden kann.'
