Who is POBSB?

POBSB = Petra Overbeek Bloem - Samuels Brusse (Netherlands, 1959)

In the 1980's I was introduced to sumi-E. I was fascinated; the power of a single brushstroke is overwhelming. To paint with ink and Chinese brush on rice paper gives me energy, strength and joy. I started to paint in the old eastern tradition, but being a western woman in this day and age I had to find my own way. The technique stayed the same, but growing up and living in the Netherlands has made its mark.

And now I'm moving and grooving in NEW directions: Being a computer aficionada I picked up digital photography, which - added with my drawings - resulted in my computer art.
