As a child, drawing was one of Jeanine de Hek's favorite hobbies.
She continued drawing into her teen years.

This time in her life was followed by many years where drawing took a back seat to many other creative art forms.

Jeanine became a Christian and received a heart for evangelism.

After teaching for awhile, she went to work for a Christian organization, in a theater group that performed throughout Holland.
Following that, she became a group leader for blind children and it was during this time that the call to missions began.
She went to Amsterdam to work with Youth with a Mission.

After working for many years (in the Red Light district, with Steiger 14 - a youth ministry- and with drama groups), Jeanine suffered from burnout and had to stop.
God then began a process of healing, deliverance and renewal.

In 2003, Jeanine attended a conference which had as theme: Creativity has to come back to the Church.
During a time of prayer, God touched her deeply. She received such a clear sign from God that the next day she bought art supplies and began painting.

God is the source of her inspiration.

Sometimes through song, a Bible verse or a vision.

More than anything, Jeanine's desire is that her paintings will make known a love for Jesus, the love that comes from Him and the beauty of God, Who is the source of all creativity.
