I'm an illustrator from Amsterdam, making art accessible for everyone - yes, espécially for people who are convinced they 'cannot draw'. Believe it or not: I was one of them myself, up until a few years ago. I didn't pick up a pen until áfter I had a few (non-art related) degrees in my pocket, and some non-fulfilling work experience on my resume. So I know from first hand experience what it's like to feel insecure, tackle perfectionism, face that fearful white page, and most importantly: to keep pushing through and end op surprising yourself. The key? Allowing yourself to have fun!
I currently teach people that they, too, can draw in all kinds of different ways: through my online private community, various workshop (online & offline) and through live demo's on fairs, platforms & Dutch national TV. I share a lot of daily behind the scenes on social media as well.
My company is called 'Gouden Lijntjes' - which loosely translates to 'Golden Linings'. Because I always like to see the positive side of things:) I hope that my loose, playful and easy-going drawing style inspires you to get out there, experiment, make mistakes, and, most of all... have fun!
