Having flown the earth for over 300 million years,

Having flown the earth for over 300 million years, the dragonfly symbolizes our ability to overcome times of hardship. They can remind us to reconnect with our own strength, courage and happiness.

It is said that when a dragonfly appears, angels are amongst us. They were given an extra set of wings so the angels could ride on their backs to visit us from heaven.

Isn’t that one of the most hopeful things you’ve ever heard? I really hope you and your little one will enjoy this art print.

One day my 4 year old daughter came upstairs to my

One day my 4 year old daughter came upstairs to my little attic workspace to have a look at what I was doing. I was working on the final details of a Butterfly Spirit Animal with short curly hair. She reminded me of Annie, the girl from the musical, remember her? The Sun will come out tomorrow? (If I just put the song in you head, I do apologize) I must have watched that film at least 100 times.

So Ophelia, that’s my daughter’s name, said she didn’t like her hair and asked me why she didn’t have flowers in her hair? And with Ophelia sitting besides me in the extra chair, one thing let to another. All of a sudden this little bug ended up with long braids and a flower wreath like a little bohemian hippie girl. And then and there it all made sense again to me. I felt she was ready, to spread her wings, so to speak.

So, with the help of the unvarnished opinion and brutal honesty of a four year I created one of my most beloved Spirit Animals so far.

Who else is dealing here with the brutal honesty of four year old ladies?

Sending you a bug hug on this lovely Saturday. I am deeply moved by all the orders I received yesterday. It’s been a lifelong dream to make artworks that touches the hearts of children (of all ages for that matter) So thank you again to all who have placed on order. They’ve already been send out ☺️

Have you met this sweet Beetle? When I painted him I imagined him to play in the woods with all his tiny friends. I’ve enclosed some detail shots , so you can have closer look.

This Beetle totem invites you to focus on your inner strength when you feel small, to embrace transformation and to be recoursefull. How’s that for a little life wisdom?

I’m already contemplating to expand the collection with more animals. Your suggestions are always welcome and inspiring to me, so let me know what you think.....

Sometimes I think I should give these illustrations names or titles.

What do you think and what or how would you call this little fella and his Snail Spirit Animal?

This art print and five new ones will be available in the webshop, this Friday.....

Seven years ago I was pregnant with a little baby

Seven years ago I was pregnant with a little baby boy and I had felt very insecure about well....a lot. I felt like I knew nothing, but what I díd know was that I wanted him to feel closely connected to nature. I wanted him to feel enchanted by the magic of nature. Something spiritual even. I wished for him not to be afraid of animals and bugs. I wanted him to feel carefree, play in the mud and jump into puddles without hesitation. So I started painting this world for him, as I wanted to bring this feeling of enchantment into his room as that was one more thing that did feel right.

So, if you look at the Bumble Bee as a totem, this furry striped creature invites you to believe in miracles, to live in harmony and to create abundance. How’s that for a little life lesson? And how nice is it be to have sweet silly chats with your child about these fat flies in fluffy pyjama’s? I love these moments, even if they last a few seconds.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from motherhood, it is that it is ALL about these silly small moments. And then those small moments are actually not so small after all...

Swipe to see a close-up of the happy bumble bees and I’ve also added a video of the painting process, which was a lot of fun to make.

The Bumble Bee Spirit Animal will be available this Friday at midnight in my webshop. If you order this Friday, I will ship the same day.

Oh yes! It’s finally happening. This Friday I’ll be launching six more Spirit Animals in my webshop.

Also, I have added a NEW size to shop. Now, ALL Spirit Animals are available in a cute smaller size, (A5) so you can easily expand your Spirit Animal collection and create your own art gallery wall.

This spring edition I was inspired by the fascination our children have with little bugs. It’s just so heartwarming to see their excitement when they see a butterfly, a dragonfly, find a snail and talk to ladybugs and beetles.

I remember when I was a little girl I really wanted to have a ladybug farm, they were such enchanted litt creatures to me. I still wear a ladybug necklace every day and my daughter has one too.

Also, over the last few months I received several requests if I could paint a more diverse pallet of skin tones. And when you ask, I listen. Especially when it comes to the feelings of our children. Any suggestions for the future are always welcome with me.

So here’s a preview of what is coming this Friday....I’m super excited, which one is your favorite?
