Own experiences
Daisy Luiten experienced at the age of 19 what it means to lose a mother. To cope with the grief and loss, she searched for emotional support, but this was hard to find. Finally she found someone who helped her to find her own way to express her emotions and she started to paint, draw and create things to express her feelings. In addition, this experience inspired her to start working in this area herself.
