ART

I remember vividly a painting hanging at my grandmothers wall. I think I was 8 years old when I asked her what the painting was supposed to depict. She said that it was vases with flowers. I disagreed and in my opinion I saw men with beards. "And that's so funny," said my grandmother, "everyone sees something different, each painting tells a story."

Years later I graduated in art history at the University of Leiden. For my studies I graduated in Western Modern Art. After internships in Beijing and New York at established art foundations, I focused on Chinese contemporary art.

I have always immensely enjoyed giving presentations and guided tours about art. I love conveying the stories the various works of art, artists and movements, especially seeing others gaining their knowledge about and pleaseure in ART .

AMUSE

It started with baking cookies, playfully learning the tips and tricks of the kitchen. Especially in catering jobs later on did I learn many tricks of the trade in the world that is the one that belongs to the Chef.

I discovered that I love cooking and everything that comes with it. With great pleasure I try new dishes regularly and compose new menus. I really enjoy setting the table with a nod to Art.

AMUSE d'ART

AMUSE d' ART is therefore the ideal combination for me: entertaining with stories about art and cooking for others. That is also where the name is derived from: ART is art , AMUSE stands for food. In French: AMUSE d'ART, bite of art. In English: Amused ART, nice art.

But above all, having fun is the core of the evening. I do hope to welcome you to one of the evenings where you can learn more about art whilst you dine and where you, in a relaxed atmosphere, with friends, colleagues or other interested parties will be AMUSEd.
