In one of the beautiful musea of Siena you find damaged stones that had been used before in the fountain of Siena. These damaged stones are so beautiful in their 'clair-obscure' that I had to paint some of them.

Dr. Aletta Jacobs (first Dutch female doctor, 1854 - 1929). Young Aletta was determined about it: she wanted to go to university and she wanted to be a doctor; unpreceded in her days, but she managed. Here I portrayed her with a book showing the symbol for curation and bringing together opposites (male and female). She is running away from the dark and the church that kept women small for so long. I gave her a transparent dress, because everybody was watching her as the first female student and doctor.

Hille Willems oder Sickes (1540-1589) was one of my foremothers and she was burnt as a witch, together with some twenty other people, almost all women. Here I show her after her incredible suffering and pain; after death. She is peacefully floating above the landscape of east Groningen. In her hand a small fire as a reference to her fate (and to the Groningen-gaz). She left the church behind her, even though in this case the church was not the only one guilty of her verdict. With this painting I want to honor my foremother who has suffered beyond imagination.

Autumn is the time of true maturity. The lady is older, but she is still on her bike, bringing back home some wood for a nice and cosy fire. There is a strong wind, but the lady knows how to deal with it. Slowly, slowly she is cycling into the winter and the end of it all.
