MAY
“Mirror”
I did a lot of self-portraits and used a lot of mirrors. There is something strangely special about being both the artist and the model. I believe art in any capacity can be the mirror you need it to be. I’m looking forward to exploring this theme with you during the month of May.

Learning from the heart
Online classes designed to support your creativity
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.

Exploring pigments: Umber
During the next few livestreams on my YouTube channel, I’d love to talk about and work with some of my favourite pigments. Each episode will feature a pigment, and after a few I will curate a limited palette with them. It’s no secret that I love desaturated colours and I work with them a lot.

Painting Camille Claudel’s “l’Homme Penché”
I had a wonderful time with you all during the two live streams where I painted the bulk of this tiny panel. I finished it with an extra 1,5 hours of work that I recorded as well. And it’s done now! This is one of my favourite sculptures by Claudel, although it’s hard to choose.
