Art & Design

As I love to be creative in many ways, I often add a visual layer to my research and other writings, by creating art & design. This includes (digital & analogue) drawings, video, infographics and photographs (of myself, or of a 3D art work such as Ministeck Stalin).

I studied ceramics at the SBB Gouda and followed various courses in illustration & design, that – among others – lead to the BudoGirl brand and my Fantasy Art.

My work has been published and exhibited in vastly different contexts. If you like, you can check my art & design for sale via my Etsy shop. Please contact me if you have any special requests.
