“I must have flowers,
always, and always.”
Claude Monet
Would you like to enjoy the beauty of your garden or balcony flowers all year round? Just bring your flowers to my studio in Rotterdam and I will create a unique garden portrait for you.
Please note that not all flowers are suitable for this type of photography, but I’ll do my best to portrait the flowers you love the most.
If you’re looking to brighten up your space but don’t need to use your own flowers, the images on this site are available as framed prints in edition in two different sizes. More info below.

As described above you can also order a custom made garden portrait. There are two options available:
- you bring your flowers to my studio in Rotterdam.
Add €200 to the price of the size in which you
want the print
- I will come to your garden and make a portrait
there. Add €300 to the prize of the size you want
plus €0,30 per of travel expenses per kilometer fro
Rotterdam.
Please keep in mind that I need about three
hours for photographing and a quiet, windstil
room with a table to work in :)
The edition of your portrait is 1 (plus 2 AP), which means that your print is unique and will not multiplied. Only I still have two additional prints (the 'AP' or 'artist's proof'. An artist proof is a print for the artist herself that can, for example, be used in an exhibition). Do you want your portrait in a different size? Let’s discuss what works best for you.
For a personalized portrait of your garden, we’ll plan the perfect moment together so I can capture the flowers that mean the most to you. This can be in spring, summer, or autumn.
All prizes are including VAT.
Please note that the invoice will be sent in two parts: 50% of the total amount when you order and 50% after delivery.
When I was 11 I started learning Ikebana in my native Germany. Ikebana is a Japanese tradition of flower arranging, often working with a few single flowers and/ or branches.
Ikebana is also called kadō (華道 or 花道) - the way of flowers. It has a minimalist character and special emphasis is placed on composition.
In the garden portraits I make now, I do not adhere to traditional compositions from Ikebana but in the way I look at the flowers, create compositions and emphasize the shapes, ‘the way of flowers’ and the focus to portrait them in their beautiful simplicity, definitely comes back.
