Byron Bay Art Studio
Byron Bay is all about experiencing the natural scenic beauty. As an Australian visual artist, born into a family of artists, I feel the need to express myself through painting and drawing, photography and art installations.
Byron Bay is inspiring with its natural beauty. It is a place full of funky and artistic people.

I was born into a family of artists; most notable was Dutch sculptor Nico Onkenhout.It became important to me in my twenties to explore different media – video animation, all paints, spray paints, mixed media, wood, and collage. During the mid eighties I became involved in the squatting movement in Amsterdam. I joined creative activists looking to improve housing conditions and domestic environments by painting frescoes and murals. Many images from this time can be seen in suburban photographic archives in the libraries and the Register building.
