She paints the sea and her food. Sardines, shrimps, mussels, oysters. During her working holidays on the Wadden Islands and when the mudflats dry up, she collects oysters and eats the mussels from the bows of the boats. To eat and to model her canvases as a still life.

Besides the North Sea, Brittany and Portugal, Maja’s greatest source of inspiration is now the wild flower fields in the fields in her own area of Blaricum. She makes her work in acrylic and oil paint, but incorporates the earth of the place from which she draws her inspiration
Overview View of the Earth Overview View of the Earth
Many of Maja’s paintings “city views” are made in large format from a bird’s-eye view. Astronauts look at the world from space and think what’s bothering everyone….. the earth is such a small sphere…. why all the fights and wars ?
Her name is Boot and she paints boats, for Maja a boat is synonymous with rest. During her stay on Vlieland and Terschelling she saw the boats dry up at low tide and imagined a forced stay in such a boat as ultimate bliss for a while’ not be’. In Brittany she systematically painted the rough, pure landscape for years on end. The colours, the stones, the beach and the water were her source of inspiration. Text: Josette Berg
I like spaces that feel earthy but belong to heaven.
Canopies, beach houses, domes and verandas. Attempts to bound spaces that cannot be bounded.
Attempts to make the elusive tangible. The heavenly houses overlook that which is vulnerable… a place for the soul.
