Article in Jan Magazine

Maybe you already spotted me in JAN Magazine?
I’ve been a fan of Aaf Brandt Corstius‘s writing for years and felt so honoured that she wrote a (huge!) piece about my Picture Book Illustration course. Such a wonderful feeling how many people still book my courses and appreciate what I am trying to do as a teacher.
Thank you so much, dear Aaf!

Another little one

Sooo, this happened little over a week ago! Our beautiful second daughter Loren was born… and in the Netherlands it is tradition to send a birth announcement card to friends and family.

So in love, we are… ♡

The Graduation Exhibition

I can’t believe it’s already been almost two weeks ago that I waved England goodbye. We’ve had such a successful show at the Candid Artis Trust gallery. 75 Exhibitors this year! I felt so proud of my classmates. All the work just came together so well in this gorgeous gallery.

After a nervous week, on Saturday I could finally switch into party mode at ‘friends and family day’. Family and best friends all flew over from the Netherlands (isn’t that amazing?!) to check out my work and celebrate with me. It felt great to be standing there with my baby in my arms and to think back to what an important year it has been.

Below some pictures of the show. I was so overwhelmed that I only shot some fast pictures with my phone, so apologies for any bad quality.

Special thanks go to Zaou Vaughan for providing me with the most gorgeous needle felted puppets to show of the main characters from my picture book ‘Looking for Tom‘.

Part of our show has been moved to the Ruskin Gallery, where you can still visit our work until the 4th of March.
