-IT’S MAGICAL, NOT MAGIC-

Creativity is sort of a catch-all idea that encompasses so many things. It’s hard to nail down, but you know it when you see it. One thing it isn’t a superpower you’re just born with. It’s not exclusive. Anyone can tap into their creative energy to make something special with hard work and a bit of luck.

Whoohoo! Just send the new Spirit Animal Collectio

Whoohoo! Just send the new Spirit Animal Collection off to the printers. Fingers crossed everything will go ‘on rolletjes’, so I can put them up in the shop somewhere next week. For now: Happy Friday and thank you so much for all your support during these stressful but exciting weeks.

I started making drawings when I was pregnant with my first baby as I couldn’t find any artworks that really spoke to me when I began decorating the nursery. When painting these watercolor pieces I felt great reassurance knowing that I did everything to turn that little room into a little magical space. And one drawing become a second and escalated into a first collection....

And now I feel so honored that these sweet fluffy friends are being adopted to be companions in rooms of little babies and children all over....Just look at this gem by @stephsstylebook

I’ve teamed up with her for a little giveaway so you can have your own heartfelt cozy artwork.

Just head over to @stephsstylebook to read more and have a little peak of her pretty nursery.

We didn’t knew we were making memories, all we knew was we were having fun. Have a lovely Sunday!

Here is some vital information you didn’t know a

Here is some vital information you didn’t know about me, besides the fact that I secretly dance in the woods when I go for a run. It reminds me of going to festivals. I hide between hills and trees and pray that nobody sees me. But it helps to keep the colors in my head clear and I always return smiling.

My art journey began when I was pregnant for the first time. I didn’t love anything that I saw in the shops. So after sowing quilts and making stuffed animals, I started to paint artworks to put up in the nursery and that’s when ‘the magic happened’. I had felt super uncomfortable, but when I was drawing, I felt good and connected to my baby. I told my forever-fiancé: This is it. This is what I will do for the rest of my life. I had always worked as a fashion stylist and illustrator but nothing made more sense than making art for (inner) children.

I don’t actually draw in this chair, I have a hideous black office chair, but this one just looks better, don’t you think? The coffee mug on the cabinet is empty, but it sets the tone for my love of oatmilk lattés. Former stylist,right?

If you’d like to have a chat with me about making art, I just might become a cheerleader on steroids. I’m a firm believer that (creating) art is crucial for your soul. My wish for every performer of self-expression is that you feel comfortable and brave enough to create what your heart is longing for. I really know how difficult that is, to allow yourself to create freely. But by all means: C.R.E.A.T.E! What’s that spelled? Told ya, total cheerleader.

If you’d sneak into my little attic studio, you will probably catch me painting whilst listening to movie soundtracks. It helps to get into a dream-like state where I forget about everything else. But I never forget to eat. I’ve never understood people who say: Oh, I’ve been so busy I forgot to eat. How is that possible? Personally, I do not function on an empty stomach. Do you?

I dream of making many more collections of artworks for you. New Spirit Animals are almost ready! I hope that, even for a moment, they will make you feel like you’ve just been sprinkled with fairydust. I live for those little moments, how ‘bout you?

May all woman, big and little know that they are l

May all woman, big and little know that they are loved.

The leopard totem is here to support you to take note of your inner strenght, to be patient and wise and to embrace your inner- and outer beauty.

I wish you an inspired #internationalwomensday
