Art, photography and puzzles...
Ranked #1,349 in Squidoo Community, #128,565 overall
My parents have three kids and I'm the least artistic. That's not saying much, because both my brothers aim to be professional artists. Between the two of them they do poetry, performances, short story writing, music and yes, visual art as well.
Me? I write nonfiction and I design websites. But the family bug hasn't skipped me completely and on this lens I share everything along those lines that I've published online. Whether it's collections of beautiful calendars or posters, or my own own holiday pictures; whether it's jewelry collections or a mandala art project or a collection of Art jigsaw puzzles.
And yes, I made the picture above.

Defining Art
On this lens I'm defining art as widely as I can: whether it's the visual arts, music or creative writing. Since I don't do creative writing and haven't made lenses about the subject either, what's left is music and visual art. I'm a visual person, so most of my lenses about art are about visual art. Still, I'm also sharing my one musical lens here.

Math and Art: another art project
My first profession was that of math teacher. I guess sometimes it shows.
Music and Movies
I am, by far, the least musical person in the family. Still, I had fun making this lens about Bollywood music.

Oh, and meet my brothers
These lenses are mostly in Dutch, because that's the language they both mostly work in. Still, just looking at some of these videos you can get a clear idea about their style I think.
More of me on squidoo
In squidoo speak, this lens is called a lensography: a collection of lenses about a specific topic. I've made rather a lot of those. Here's a selection.
So, how do you like my artsy lenses?

Art Jigsaw Puzzles
My dad loves a good jigsaw puzzle: you know, the kind with thousands of pieces and lots of details to make the puzzle fun and doable. On this page I've gathered some jigsaw puzzles that I'm sure he'd love to try (to my mom's amazement btw).Modern art Jigsaw Puzzles
Spiritual puzzles
I made this lens when I found out that vintage posters were being turned into puzzles in the UK. Unfortunately, as I made this lens, I found that these were usually not available in the USA. Still, I think it's a fun idea to have the classic images of the aura and chakras available in puzzle format.
Museum jigsaw puzzles
Museums make the best calendars and the best puzzles as well. Famous art pieces printed on high quality well crafted puzzles.
