Read more about this month’s theme and how you can join


Learning basic and advanced art skills doesn’t have to be tedious or uninspiring. I love teaching people how to work on their goals by combining technical exercises with creative, dynamic projects. Art is more than just a skill; it’s a healing mindset.

I have both shorter workshops and extensive courses available; whatever suits your creative need right now. I give feedback and support in my safe, private Facebook group!

Thoughts, happenings and community

I love sharing my thoughts, studio and projects in something less fleeting than social media. You’ll also find a bunch of free resources such as videos and reference images here. Your feedback always makes me feel good so leave a comment if you’d like.

    In 2023 I created a body of work in collaboration with the composer Janneke Moes. Our work, titled “A Whisper of Hope” will consist of my work and Janneke’s multiple choir composition. In this series on blog I’d like to take you on a tour of my work and my experiences. “A Whisper of Hope”…
