She became vegetarian at 16 years of age,and therefore was thrown out of her parents house later but her father did pay for her studies. People told her mom " You can never have children when you are a Vegetarian!" Well, she had four children. In fact, she was 82 and was never in a hospital. She always taught art in schools and privately and loved working in her yard. Her relatives in Holland have many of her paintings and a few aquarelles and sketchbooks. In the war time she sold one piece of her work.
