If you’re visiting this portfolio, odds are that you’re somewhat like me. You may not be born in 1973, you may not be Dutch, you may not even be a woman, but the cloud has brought you here, so something must feel familiar.

Perhaps it has taken you a long time to sift through life and choose the proper stepping stones to plant your feet on, in search of self-determination.

And though one never quite knows what is lurking around the corner, perhaps you feel you can safely say you too are here to GROW.

For the moment, this probably means you’re dedicating part of your life to art, philosophy, poetry, photography, music or writing.

Other parts are determined by work that pays the bills, raising a family so that the torch might be carried further than your lifetime permits, and once in a while letting the sun permeate your core, just happy to BE.

Whatever life throws your way, there’s always something in it that will make you think: “Hmm. Interesting.” Add a little imagination and off you go.

Chances are we’ve mingled in realms our day-to-day lives do not touch. (That, or you’ve followed links from @nmaccentaigu on Twitter, or visited my accounts on Facebook or YouTube.)

Anyways… welcome! Feel free to absorb my online presence. Should you wish to reproduce any of the images or words, do send me an e-mail (nm@accentaigu.nl).
