Biography

She was born in The Hague as the daughter and pupil of Jacob Eduard van Heemskerck van Beest.^[1] She studied art at the Royal Academy in The Hague later took lessons until 1904 from Ferdinand Hart Nibbrig. She spent her summers in Domburg where she became familiar with the work of Piet Mondriaan and Jan Toorop. After 1911 she became influenced by Rudolf Steiner and began making more abstract art, and her mecenas Marie Tak van Poortvliet began collecting her work and offered her the use of a workshop in her home in The Hague. From 1916 she began designing stained-glass windows, for which she received a few municipal commissions.
