You can count on one hand the number of supermodels that are also abstract impressionist painters. Or, at least, you could start counting them on one hand, but it would go, "One... um... does taking Instagram with the bunny-ears filter count? No? Right. Just the one, then."
And that one is 24-year-old Dutch supermodel Bregje Heinen, who divides her time between swimsuit shoots in the Maldives, Mauritius and Brazil, walking the runway for Victoria's Secret, Prada and Topshop, and spending time at the canvas.
Still, it's perhaps no shock that Heinen - who lives in Brooklyn with her three bulldogs and boasts an Instagram following of half a million, with no shortage of shots where she isn't dressed for the weather - is used to making her own entertainment, having grown up in a small town called Borculo, with a population just shy of 7,000.
"There are two bars and not much else to do," says Heinen, "but I have the best memories from my childhood. When I grew up, I thought it was boring, but now looking back, it's so nice. Everyone knows each other."
And now, everyone else knows Bregje, too.
