When I was asked to participate in the collaborated arts spectacle organized by the Australia and Indonesian Arts Alliance, I could only say yes! This is because of my experiences travelling and living in Indonesia (1990 to 1996) and my connection growing up in Holland with Indonesian friends.

Living and working amongst Indonesian people has always inspired me. They are artistic and joyful, intelligent and musical. I love their food and culture. I think their country is beautiful. Living here in Byron Bay, I am constantly reminded of the beauty of Indonesia. I see it every where around me in landscapes, in houses, in clothing and in art.
