Hi,

I’m a freelance illustrator/artist based in The Netherlands. Currently enjoying life in the south of the country. Like most artists I have a day job that pays the bills, but any spare time there is I am using to develop my craft and grow as an artist.

A little about myself:

From a young age I had a fascination for the arts and even though art was not on my parent’s radar, they saw that it sparked a fire in me. With their encouragement and the support of my art teacher Mr. Fons Pisters in high school I pursued Art Academy. Upon graduating from the Maastricht Institute of Arts in 2008 with a Bachelor in Video Design I left the road of the arts. I didn’t feel sure art was what I wanted to go after, I hadn’t seen much of the world and was still in search of myself. So I left for London almost right after graduating. I ended up working with a small charity that offers respite for local carers. It was a very amazing time and has showed me how working with ones local community brings a lot of joy and connection. After 6 years in the UK I returned to the Netherlands. I had become a mum in the meantime and I was at the start of a new life with my kids, who eventually reminded me that all I wanted is to create.

More and more I see how the arts, at its core, are the ultimate healer for ones soul, at least that’s my experience. I strongly believe that art is for everyone and not just an elite thing. I would encourage anyone to start creating, expressing through dance, song, sculpting, painting or whatever.
