Working on my ipad on an illustration of the mountains in Switzerland. I collaged my grandparent from an old photograph into the illustration and recoloured them into shades of red and pink, they are sitting on a small wooden bridge across some water in front of the mountains.

Working on some art inspired by my ancestors. Experimenting a bit with combining digital drawing and collaging parts of old photographs and recolouring them. I think I like the result…

Quick digital sketch of a landscape with a tree an a path disappearing in the distance in very bold orange, red and magenta pink hues.

Wanted to use a fiery color palette for my quick sketch today. It's bold but I kind of like the result I think. What do you think?

Working on a new portrait for my inspiring women series, drawing this portrait on my ipad.

Working on another portrait for my Inspiring Women series, can you guess who?

This was based on reference pick of the ‘Heide’ (heathland) in Belgian Limburg, the area of Belgium where I was born and most of my ancestors are from. These days we just have a few national parks left with this landscape but for centuries most of the land looked like this. I want to work on a series of ancestral landscapes… This a sunset landscape with vibrant oranges, magenta pinks and purples. A rolling landscape with colorful heather, a sandy path curving towards the horizon and a few big trees dotted in the distance.

A 40 minute quick sketch. I need to do more of these quick studies. Put on a timer and some nice music and just go for it without too much thinking. The result often feels so much more dynamic than anything I spend hours or even days working on…

Hilma af Klint & Her Paintings for the Future Have you ever had a vision, something you longed to create, but the world wasn’t ready for it? Let’s step into the story of an artist who kept her work hidden until the world could finally understand.

I’m starting a series of posts about Inspiring Women on Substack.

I’ll create a portrait, share their story and some creative exercises for you to help you integrate and embody the inspiring energy of that woman.

The first post is about Hilma af Klint!

Handlettered quote 'Life is sweeter because of you' surrounded by juicy fruits, pineapple, kiwi fruit, peaches, lemon slices, strawberries, blueberries and some pink and white blossoms.

For anyone who needs to hear this! Life is sweeter because of you! ❤️

A greeting card I illustrated a few years ago, you might still find it at a Trader Joe's if you're lucky...

A recent portrait I illustrated of Lozen, an Apache warrior for my Inspiring Women series. The ortrait shows her in a blue shirt with red and white beaded necklaces, and some frarhers in her hair. The landscape in the background shows some red/orange and pink mountains and blue cacti in the sunset...

Quick digital sketch of a Scarce Forester Moth with gorgeous metallic green wings, yellow highlights and electric blue shadows on a magenta pink textured background

#MothMay - Scarce Forester Moth! I enjoyed drawing this one which seemed simple but had so much lovely glittery texture 😍

Just a little reminder, my sale ends on Friday! Final chance to get some of my travel inspired art prints!

Boekt in the town of Zolder, Belgium, 150 years ago...

Some work in progress, wanted to draw some landscapes today. Still need to finish the landscape in the front but I also kind of like the roughness of it...
This is the town my grandparents & other ancestors lived, based on some source material from 150 years ago, it looks very different now though!

Closeup detail of the start of a new art project related to my ancestors...

Another closeup detail, incorporating some old maps and stanps that were stamped in the town my ancestors lived...

Little sneak peak of something I'm working on... I've started working on an ancestral art project with portraits and landscapes related to my ancestors. I'll explain it in detail in one of my next substack posts...

Yes, I'm still creating art too. Here's me working on a recent portrait of Lozen, an inspiring Native American woman, and a yummy matcha latte and a chocolate tart (aka food for the soul 😅)

Hello friends! I've been MIA for 6 weeks, sorry! I disappeared again mid #MothMay... I fear I ran out of steam once again... and I wondered why, oh why, do I always run out of steam after I start something full of enthousiasm?

Ah, that's sad. Some people are real idiots.

Quick digital sketch of a pink oriental poppy on a bright red background.

Been working on my first new Substack post in 5 months (will be published tomorrow). And I've got a whole bunch of posts planned out already too. I don't think I've ever been this organised!

This poppy drawing is totally unrelated though 😅

Quick digital sketch of the temples near a river in Bagan in Myanmar. The sketch shows a vibrantly colorful landscape with red earth, magenta pink temples and green and blue trees. In the distance the sky is turquoise blue and the sun orange.

Another one of my #quicksketches of Bagan in Myanmar. Been thinking about Myanmar after the big earthquake last week. Absolutely devastating for the people there who were already in such hardship. They also fear the temples in Bagan were badly damaged...

Illustration of the beautiful rice terraces in Sidemen, Bali. I highly recommend visiting Sidemen if you come to Bali! The image shows the terraces in shades of warm green and a vibrant orange sunset sky. In the back there are silhouettes of palmtrees and there's a small hut with a birght magenta roof.

Just in case you’re wondering, yes, I’m still in beautiful Bali. Though I did recently book a flight back home for the end of August. Will be great to reconnect with family and friends again before I head out to Asia once again...

And a new plan has emerged! Better nutrition, exercise, and focusing more on the creative things that give me energy vs what drains me. Will be closing some chapters & try some exciting new things. And I'm building some systems to help me be better at posting regularly! Fingers crossed it will work!

This led me to some serious soul searching! It's been an interesting 6 weeks, I've been looking at my energy levels, how I can improve them, what I really want to be doing creatively rather than what I feel I should be doing and so much more. I really went into the deep end 😅
