The Shine Gallery in London has a forthcoming exhibition of her work.
Probably worth mentioning too is this site featuring the work of Jet Budelman, a fellow Dutch photojournalist.

Truly extraordinary photographs. The photographer's use of light in her portraiture is reminiscent of Rembrandt's.

Don't miss this.

Spectacular. Apropos of her religious photos: it's not at all a bad thing for those of us in the West to be confronted by images at once so alien and yet so intensely human...

I like the subjects and the composition (although neither aspect breaks any new ground) but the colorizing gets on my nerves. Overproduced. Some shots remind me of those cheesey colorized James Dean/Marilyn Monroe post cards they sell in music stores.

Mesmorising and evocative. Thanks, chill.
