From 1984 onward, Mynke Buskens has had more than 50 exhibitions both at home and abroad; she has had several major one-man presentations in the 's-Hertogenbosch Provincial Museum, and a number of one-man and group exhibitions both in museums and leading galleries in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht and Arnhem, among other places. 

Mynke Buskens graduated two times: at the  Academy of Art in Tilburg as well as at the Academy of Art in Groningen, in the disciplines of drawing, painting and graphic arts; she is a visiting lecturer at the Royal Academy of Art in 's-Hertogenbosch and a guest curator at the municipal Jan Cunen Museum in Oss. 

She received several grants from the government. Her drawings have been included in the collections of major museums, and in public and private collections. 

She has undertaken study trips to Florence, Venice, Pompeii, Rome and Berlin. 

Leading Dutch newspapers and art magazines have published articles on her work; among them are NRC Handelsblad, the Financieel Dagblad and the Volkskrant. 

She has been commissioned by the authorities to make a mural drawing covering 24 by 3 meters in one of the richly decorated rooms of the nineteenth century national monument 'Huis Te Hurwenen' (Hurwenen Castle).

Mynke Buskens makes series of drawings of a certain place: a building excavation, St. John's Cathedral in 's-Hertogenbosch(*), or an abandoned orchard. She has a ritual of her own to internalize such a place. First of all, being there is important. She walks around the site, sketches and takes photographs. At the same time she gathers stories about the history and the myths which originate around a place. It is this store of information which constitutes a kind of source book for the making of the actual, large sized drawings in her studio. 

Each subject is given its own style and reflects her view of that place. A building excavation in Eindhoven(**), her native ground, rendered from a bird's eye point of view, in rhythmic lines, becomes a quiet, abstract theme. The trees in her orchard drawings are depicted with violent lines. 

They argue, they scold at each other, and sometimes they have a whispered conversation. 

Memories and observations make themselves known in the mood of the work. The drawings refer to there and then and once, but the instant of creation manifests itself as well. The style is connected with an episode in her life. Recent drawings hang on the walls of her studio. Underneath the bridges, one follows the river within the city walls of 's-Hertogenbosch from the water itself. In the drawings, bridges are like eyes, and all these eyes look back at you; connecting, watery, or floating. The drawing either makes contact or withdraws. 
The city has stored its history within itself. The city reflects the inner self of man. 

Again, Mynke Buskens wishes to look for the source through drawing.
