Little Wolves Press

Over Little Wolves Press

I was born and raised in the Netherlands and grew up in a creative family. Surrounded by my mom's handwoven creations and the smell of clay and paint, I spent my childhood drawing to the sound of my dad playing piano. Enough inspiration, right? I couldn't quite find my niche though, and always wanted to go travel the world. At seventeen years old I met an American, and at nineteen I decided to leave my country to be with him. We married, and I ended up living in the United States for ten years before deciding together to move back to the Netherlands. We now live here with our five children. If I'm not busy illustrating… or raising children (when they sleep haha), I like to shop for my plant collection, roam around thrift shops, and dream about traveling the world one day.

I work from my humble home studio in the attic of our house. I wanted my workplace to be homy and inspiring so I hung up dreamcatchers, woven wall hangings, and vintage frames with some of my art. I bring my children to school every morning, make a cup of tea, and start my work day... (okay, let's be honest; laundry and dishes first :P). My illustrations are made pastel pencils and I like to experiment with different mediums like marker, watercolor, and sometimes vintage paper. My work has an organic feel to it and often depicts humor, emotion or a message. Mostly I just want to inspire people when they see my work. I couldn’t imagine myself doing anything else - it’s been a lifelong passion of mine to create art in one way or another.
