ed was born and raised in holland and currently lives with his wife in winterthur.

his main interest is printing. he started etching in 2009 and after mastering the basic techniques, discovered alternative methods while on holiday in cuba.

these methods have served to broaden the possibilities and intensify the expression of his prints. he prints with plates made from cardboard, various types of paper and paint to create unique results.

most of his prints are monotypes or made in small series.
