“She who is not afraid to ask for guidance”. A piece I made to remind us that guidance comes in many forms. In the people we meet, the conversations we have, the things we see on the road, and the questions we ask ourselves, and this inner knowing that answers back. Just listen and you might be surprised 💖

Voel je welkom tijdens deze verbindende avond waar je leert werken met de Mandala. Het werken met de mandala heeft een zeer meditatieve werking, ook geeft het je inzicht en helderheid op jouw thema’s en emoties. Door cyclisch te werken en gebruik te maken van herhalende patronen creëer je al snel een prachtig kunstwerk, dat elke keer weer een representatie is van wat er op dat moment leeft in jou. Dus ben jij op zoek naar een activiteit waar je een heldere geest van krijgt en daarbij ook nog schoonheid creëert? Dan is deze cursus iets voor jou.. het beloofd een verbindende avond te worden, met jezelf en gelijkgestemden. Voel je welkom! Er is huisgemaakt lekkers met koffie of thee.. Bij Ezzys in Arnhem.

There’s a voice of peace, that lights my road, and a kid in me, that never grows old 🙏🏻.. ohh music that touches my heart has always been one of my major sources of inspiration.. this artwork is based on my favorite song atm, called a kid in me, by .. There are so many parts in me that crave attention, the playful child, the sad victim child, the wild woman, and the calm voice of my heart.. and they all want to create 🙏🏻 🧚🏻‍♀️

Who’s afraid of their light?? Raise your hands up if you are… I used to be too… I say used to, as I know that I create my own reality… and If I say I am … then that allows me to stay perfectly small in this useless believe… and the thing with stepping in your light … it allows others to feel comfortable to lighten up as well… to see that light isn’t so scary… let’s lighten each other up! 💓🫶🏻

When something or someone lightens up the light of love inside of you… it may feel so good, you might want to hold on to it like its something that can be lost…this flower of light that’s inside all of us will always be there.. but we all know that feeling when we meet a special someone .. when it feels like this flower of light is blossoming in all its glory.. it may feel explosive … I now tell myself… treat it like a delicate spring leaf… it knows that it will blossom.. and even when winter comes.. spring will be back… having faith in this cycle and knowing that this light of love that is allowing all of this to flourish will always be there .: will help me to surrender to the gift that I received … I honor you .. I cherish you.. I love you…

Im really excited to present to you my newest children book "Wolfje en de oude geit" (Little wolf and the old goat) its a wonderful story about acceptance and coping with dead and loss. I enjoyed illustrating this book a lot as the story really touched me. Its emotional but also funny, the writer Truus Breukers did a wonderful job writing this book, I hope many children and grown ups get the chance to read this story! If you are curious about what inspired the writer to write this story then you can listen to this radio interview : https://l1.nl/l1-radio-truus-breukers-schrijft-kinderboek-…/
Im sorry for the english speaking but the interview is in dutch. Hopefully the book gets translated in english!
