Born in the Netherlands immigrated to Australia in 1985.
In Melbourne, her work is focused on abstract landscape oil paintings in varied sizes inspired by the Australian landscape.
Nel has enjoyed the possibilities of travelling internationally, particularly throughout Europe, seeking inspiration from different countries and cultures. She has been invited multiple times to take part as artist in residence, working alongside and collaborating with other artists.
When working as Artist in residence she mainly works on collages with photos taken by her on the long walks, mostly over old pilgrim routes, through different countries. She likes to restrict herself with the materials, to force herself to get on to other ideas to create the collages.
Most recently she started to make collages on iPad, photos taken of different materials over each other, floating in water, with already existing photos. Then she adds drawing and painting on iPad.
The greatest source of inspiration for her work has always been nature, evoking emotions of freedom, beauty & wonder. Her extensive travels throughout Australia have had a significant influence on her life and work, in turn reflected in her Art. The country’s vast differences in landscapes, open space, colours and outstretched desert plains, supply her with endless inspiration. The country she now calls home.
