I live in Itegem, a small village in the province of Antwerp in Belgium, together with sweet husband Luc and mischievous cat Basil.
From my own little place in the world, I create my illustrations and have been working on my life's dream since 2019: to make illustration my full-time job.
Drawing has always been my passion, ever since I was little. I loved drawing my own comics. I attended drawing school for a while in my younger years, but I mainly learned to draw through self-education. And I still love learning, growing and challenging myself every day.
I love drawing fantastical characters and worlds, warm detailed illustrations and visual stories that are mainly fantasy- and nature-inspired. That's where I feel at home, where I really feel "me".
Drawing makes me happy. It is my passion. I love telling visual stories and giving life a bit more color and warmth. This is how I try to make the world a little more beautiful, in my own way.
I love sharing my passion with others, taking them on an enchanted journey into a imaginary world, delighting them with my drawings and bringing out a smile.
That's magic to me!
