In my illustrations you might see what inspires me, like my vegetable garden, my dog, Ilva, and our kitchen. But in my new illustrations you see a side of me that I haven’t shown before. The first illustration is the gym. It was a place I hardly went until 3 years ago; I lost a lot of weight and wanted to be stronger. Losing that weight was a thing for me, I’ve been dieting since I was 12 years old and now I’m 30. So 18 years of dieting experience, reading books about body types, watching documentaries about sugar and everything I shouldn’t eat. I started to go many times a week, mostly very early in the morning before going to my studio. I’ve loved working out, but I’ve also learned you can go too hard, so I’m trying to put balance back into my life as well.

The second more personal inspired illustration is the climbing wall. Now you might think I’m all into sports, first illustrating a gym and now a climbing wall. But no, I’m not a climber. Koen is, we met almost 2 years ago and renovated a little house together. Beside the renovation he loves climbing, and I love him and the colorful stones. The pumpkin field and the ducks in the pond are two illustrations I’ve made before. Now you can find them together with the gym and climbing wall in my webshop! I hope you like them.

Onder moeders vleugels

In this cover illustration for the Dutch version of Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, I illustrated the four sisters who couldn’t be more different. Grown-up Meg, tomboyish Jo, timid Beth, and precocious Amy.  With their father away at war, and their mother working to support the family, they have to rely on one another. Whether they’re putting on a play, forming a secret society, or celebrating Christmas, there’s one thing they can’t help wondering: Will Father return home safely?

The first bloemenstruik illustration

This flower illustration is from a while ago, it was the first ‘Bloemenstruik’ illustration I made with ballpoint pencils. The second and third flower illustrations were much bigger and made with colored pencils. This black and white one is my personal favorite, although from the big third illustration there is a print available in my webshop. Now this one is also available, but only as the original in a oakwood frame.
