Book cover titled 'Reflections from a Child at Heart' by Ingrid van Amsterdam, featuring colourful geometric sections and text emphasizing poetry and art.

Reflections from a child at heart is an art and poetry book that captures a period of almost 50 years through a selection of my work in word and image.

In this book you will find an eclectic mix of mostly abstract art and photography in monochrome and colour that evokes movement and energy, intertwined and illustrated with poetry and laced with ethereal exploration, romantic ramblings, children’s rhymes, and the occasional dose of off-beat humour.

From time to time you will see elements of my Dutch heritage and language creeping into the content of this book!
