one small stone at a time.

*

After earning my MBO diploma at SintLucas, I had big dreams of studying at an art academy.
Unfortunately, that dream didn’t come true. After being rejected, it felt as though the spark inside me had gone out. For several years I distanced myself from art, something that actually didn’t make me happy.
It wasn’t until much later, during my studies in art therapy at HBO (hogeschool Leiden), where I spent a lot of time reflecting deeply on myself, that I gradually began to feel that creative spark again.
Through my work, I hope to pass on that same spark to others.
Alongside my illustration work, I enjoy creating creative workshops where children can explore different materials, techniques, and their own imagination. With my background in childcare, I combine my love for art with experience in guiding and supporting children through their creative process.
I believe creativity is about exploring, experimenting, having fun, and learning to express your own ideas.
