My Shop is Open

  I got so many encouraging responses to my art pillows last week, that I decided to open my shop with Society6. So now not only these pillows are for sale, but also a whole lot of other products with my paintings and pattern on them. A few examples: Society6 also produces art and canvas… Read More

Lotuses, Lotuses

Colour comes back into my paintings, the lotus shapes are staying. Here is a recent painting: Looks ok as it is, but look what a little Photoshop can do: Fancy a pillow? (more about that tomorrow, exciting announcement!) One night last week after coming back from a Kundalini yoga class, I further developed one of… Read More

Pattern 6/52

My pattern of the week is actually a whole collection: Like in my paintings, I am also attracted to a softer palette in my patterns at the moment. Being a yoga teacher, lotus motifs usually feel to cliché for me and I avoid them, but these just came naturally to me and were inspired by… Read More

White and Warm

It is February, it is still winter and my paintings reflect that, I think. *snow yoga queens with strange noses* *tulips maybe soon* And to keep you warm and cuddly, you can never have enough pillows. Just for fun I mocked up some of my paintings on pillows. Stay warm!

Hello February!

February has arrived. And feels like another unspectacular winter month. But yes, there will be green, amongst the grey and the white – as Clara’s calendar promises. Maybe catkins (love that word). And definitely snowdrops, like always in February around here.

More than 700 crazy-talented people from over 40 countries – that facebook group is a great place to hang out.

January Painting

If someone asked me, how I feel right now, I would say like this: Usually I am very attracted to bold and bright colours, but recently I am quite drawn to a pastel palette. Must be the winter for me, when life feels somewhat subdued and inward. I have discovered two great (abstract) painters –… Read More

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‚Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?‘ Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” 
― Marianne Williamson

Would you have guessed that I painted these flowers digitally, solely on the iPad? While most digital artists prefer Procreate, I love Adobe Fresco for its unpredictable watercolour brushes which bring much of the beauty and magic of real watercolours 🎨💫

For those of you who are interested in trying digital watercolour painting on the iPad I have a whole beginner class on @skillshare on this topic where we will paint crocuses in the snow, a little harbinger of spring. You can find the link to the class in my bio linktree ⬆️ It also gives you a month on Skillshare for free, with access to all my classes and thousands more.
