About me
Born in 1987 in Aachen, close to the Dutch and Belgium border, drawing started to be a passion of mine when I was able to hold a pen and continues to be to this day.
As a daughter of two ornithologists and natural scientists I have always been enchanted by nature. For as long as I can remember, I have been drawn to illustration, science and to nature. It is the reason why I not only make commercial illustrations but also love to work in the field of scientific illustration.In both fields the start of an illustration is often made with a pencil stroke. But the final rendering is possible in different kind of media: Watercolour, Colour pencil, digital or mixed media.
2014 I finished my MA in Scientific Illustration at the ABKM Maastricht after I got my BA in Illustration in summer 2011.
In 2019 I started my internship at the tattoo studio “Onze Shop” in Heerlen and I am currently a self taught tattoo artist in Malmö.
