About

​

I am a Netherlands-based illustrator and visual artist working across narrative illustration, original artwork, and visual storytelling.

​

My work begins with emotion. I am interested in feelings that are difficult to put into words, and I use color, imagery, and visual narratives as another way of expressing them.

​

I work primarily with watercolor, ink, pastel, and mixed media, embracing texture, imperfection, and the unexpected marks that emerge through the process. I am drawn to images that feel intuitive, alive, and emotionally present rather than polished or overly controlled.

​

Storytelling is at the heart of my practice, particularly storytelling without words. Through color, rhythm, atmosphere, and subtle details, I explore inner worlds, emotion, belonging, and transformation.

​

Alongside published and commissioned illustration, I develop independent visual narratives and create original works on paper. My practice moves freely between books and standalone artwork, allowing each idea to find the form that suits it best.

​

I am open to selected illustration and publishing projects, exhibitions, and creative collaborations.
