I am an artist, illustrator, city guide and art teacher. As an artist I make art, as an illustrator I make illustrations, as a city guide I organize and supervise drawing tours and as an art teacher I develop and give drawing workshops.

As a city illustrator, I am fascinated by the people and buildings that shape our cities. My drawings are organic and full of color, life, details, feeling and humor. I usually draw on location and from observation, responding to my environment with mixed techniques. My style is inspired by my love for comics and urban sketching.

My goal as a city artist is to bring a little joy to people. I hope that my drawings can inspire people to (re)discover the beauty and vibrancy of their own environment.

With my drawing tours I also want to show people my city and connect them with each other. A relaxing and creative activity to do together outside.

Drawing tours

Workshop

  • 01-04-2020
  • In collaboration with: I draw Utrecht
  • Location: Binnenrotte, Historic Delfshaven and Schiedam center, Rotterdam and Schiedam
  • The first thing you need to know: You don't need any drawing experience! I draw Rotterdam is suitable for every drawing level. I help you. I give advice and show easy and somewhat more difficult options. In Rotterdam we walk about 2,5 km. We come to various beautiful places to draw your own personal large 'Greetings from Rotterdam postcard'. Discover the city in a different way. Don't just stroll around, but look carefully and draw what you see. A relaxed experience in a vibrant city.
