(1973) Dutch painter, currently living and working on Lanzarote, Spain, as well as in Holland. Her travels have provided the perfect background for the expression of her twin passions, people & art. Inge studied at the Utrecht Art School and she studied Cultural Anthropology at the Amsterdam University. Travelling around she is always training the eye, observing, and concentrating on people in their various environments. Inge sees something remarkable in everyone. She knows how to show the characteristics of a person by painting or drawing just the nescessary essential elements and letting the model, the hands and feet, posture, or movement of the body speak for itself.
