A few years ago I decided to go back to doing the things I loved to do as a child. Looking for new energy, I asked myself: what things gave me joy? I remember making things from a young age. Building tree houses, making candles, post cards, sand drawings, knitting, writing stories and the list goes on and on. I was always creating. How could I have forgotten this important aspect of myself all those years?    

I picked up drawing and registered for an illustration course in a local city. The idea was to draw on paper and edit the drawing digitally after that. But I didn’t make it to the digital part, because the process of drawing was way too much fun. Especially drawing with pen and ink, the traditional way. I love the simplicity of the process: dipping a pen in ink and making marks on the paper, focusing, being patient and quiet.
