A little more about me
A pencil? As a child I knew no better than that was an extension of my hand. No surprise maybe, as my mother was (and is) a successful professional illustrator. We loved nothing better than making beautiful things together. So we did, long before I could even read or write.
When I grew up, people started asking if I could draw as well as my mother. So annoying! No child likes to be constantly compared to a parent. Especially not a teenager. For me, it was reason enough to put my art materials aside. I decided to go my own way and became a journalist.
Then COVID came. All of a sudden, I couldn't go out anymore to visit the galleries, museums and other places where I normally get inspired. Then I'll just have to make some art myself, I thought. Long story short: after my first drawing in October 2020, I never stopped creating. Since then, I illustrate daily, for myself and for others. And just when I was a little girl, I like nothing better. So I'd love to make something for you too!
Curious about my other work, as a journalist, editor and writing teacher? Then have a look at my second website: letterleven.nl.
