Lisette Meijrink
Here with so much nature and tranquility around me, I feel at home. Together with John I own a boulangerie boutique in Assignan where we work in the summer. In the winter we travel.
I have been painting for about thirty years. As a background I have done an artistic- and teacher-education.
What I would like is to share all the beauty that the area offers here with others. Giving a personal experience with a tangible memory that you and others will remember with pleasure and joy.
I hope you're looking forward to it!
