So glad you’re here! My name is Marieke, a Dutch artist living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I create uplifting, joyful art that celebrates the simple joys in life.
​  
​I'm currently obsessed with the tiniest of birds (hummingbirds!) and capturing the joy they spark with acrylic paint on canvas.  

Creating art that brings joy to others’ lives or enables people to share more joyful moments together is what really makes my heart happy!

Thank you for taking a peek!

P.S. Want to know what's new? Keep scrolling down!

My contemporary hummingbird paintings bring warmth and vibrant style to your home and allow you to bring the beauty of nature indoors.

​For the inside scoop on my hummingbird painting collection and happenings in my art studio, join my email community to never miss a thing! Besides The Simple Joys E-book & Journal, you'll now also receive "The Joy of Hummingbirds" as a bonus! 

Painting hummingbirds has made me interested to learn more about them. I also just love hearing people's stories and experiences as well as seeing their backyard photos of hummingbirds so I thought it'd be fun to start a community with people who love hummingbirds too!
​You can read more about my thoughts about starting this group here.

​Besides original paintings on canvas, I now have professionally printed 8" x 10" art prints available of three of my hummingbird paintings available in my online shop!


If you're local in Portland, Oregon, they're carried by the Arrangement on NE Fremont, Amity Artisan Goods downtown and the Color Shop on NE Broadway.  Please visit these extraordinary gift shops!
