A bit about me

I have loved art and books since I was tiny. My first best friends were book friends: Ramona, Eloise, Ferdinand. In illustration, I can't resist tiny lines and cheeky expressions, especially on kids and imaginary creatures. Other favorites include bicycles, quiet time, and small treasures. I currently live in the Netherlands, which, happily, has all of these.

Whether for a picture book or a frame in your home, my art honors the playful, tender spirit of childhood.
