About me

Reina&Greetje That's me and welcome to my world. There where I live, experience and where everything is possible. Where I enjoy the people around me that I love. The place where I still don't know or understand everything and have the confidence that those times will come, exactly when it's right. Where I can go from elated to quiet and wonderfully alone. Laugh, cry, fall and always get back up. Where I can be my biggest little me.

‘Reina&Greetje has an inherant intention to touch the wonders of the worlds, the known and unknown’ – Iman Kamel

I observe and look at the everyday in a different way. From the upside down, inside out or in a dance around it. Through my eyes there are a lot of connections that create many universes inside of me. That's where I find them. The lost bits and the memories. The glimpses, shimmers and twinkles. Found to share and blast into the world wishing they hit. In words, images or together at the same time. 

How does Reina&Greetje work?

Where Reina is the one who collects words and images in the infinitely wonderful worlds of imagination, Greetje makes sure they come home, with two feet back on solid ground.

In order not to get infinite lost, I draw up a road map with a number of starting points. A clear direction, start, end and a few intermediate stations. Along with a lot of space in between to discover new paths. For clarity for myself and the people I work with.

Wherever in the worlds I am, it’s almost always possible to keep in touch and communicate. Do you wish to know more about me, about working together or just want to ask anything? Feel free to call or email me!

‘The first thing that stands out are the lively illustrations by Leonie Verbrugge. But the story is also full of imagination, with poetic texts that are still understandable.’ 

Mijn gouden traan

https://www.mijngoudentraan.nl/lang-zal-eland-leven/

‘I love stories that continue to work in your head like puzzles for a while. And where I want to write down and remember all the beautiful symbolic sentences: because they add something to everyday reality. This story provides an extra dimension that transcends the tangible. And I am going to try to make a book description that invites you to read the book yourself. And after you have done that, I hope that this book will go with you in your bag to your class. Then you can follow what this story does to the children in your class. Golden life lessons guaranteed!’
