Welcome to my blog.
This is the place I share my journey through the physical, creative and spiritual realms.
As an artist, illustrator, designer, musician, poet and a shamanic practitioner I aim to bring hope and inspiration.
Enjoy! ~ Bear (short for Barbera)

Birth of an artist.

Barbera Ploeg April 14, 2025

Years and years ago, I went on a trip to one of our Dutch Islands, Ameland.

It was the first trip with Eugène & Vos, who was still a baby at that time. I wasn't a painter back then. More of a creative centipede, without a goal. I think it might have been my second or 3rd painting.

In the picture you see the work of both me and Eugene of the same scene.

After these little paintings (we made 2 more) we thought about creating a series "according to him, according to her", we have paintings, poetry, haiku's, writing, photography. All our own thoughts and expressions on the same subjects. I feel inspired to start pursuing working with him on an actual project soon.

As for the paintings, I actually like his better than mine. People keep saying I am the artist but I believe he is as well. And it takes one to know one, so it must be true.

Extra points if you guess which one is mine.
