After studying Social Sciences at the University of Amsterdam I worked as a psycho-therapist, a management-trainer and consultant, training-manager for several companies and became the managing-director of a training- and consultancy company.<\/p>\n<p>Every five or six years I changed my job and work environment to look for a new challenge. In my spare time I continued with drawing and painting, i.e. at the \u2018Gooische\u2019 Academy of Art.<br \/>\nI particularly enjoy drawing and painting from life and portraiture, although I am also interested in cityscapes.<\/p>\n<p>In 2003 my husband Helwart and I sold our house and left together on our sailing yacht \u2018Volharding\u2019 for the Mediterranean Sea, where we travelled around for five years. Because space on a boat is restricted, I started to paint in water-colours and so I developed my own style and technique.<\/p>\n<p>Since 2008 we have lived in France (the Dordogne) and have our own workshop.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8b71930\" data-id=\"8b71930\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-abf12a8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"abf12a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/erikjvanbercum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fotoerik.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1098\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/erikjvanbercum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fotoerik.jpg 800w, https:\/\/erikjvanbercum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fotoerik-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/erikjvanbercum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fotoerik-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/erikjvanbercum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/fotoerik-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ERIK J.
