Hi there! My name is Marieke. So glad you found me here!
I was born and raised among Dutch windmills but have been living in Portland Oregon for many years.
While I love my flat birth country, I've come to greatly appreciate living close to these majestic mountains in the Pacific Northwest which inspire me and make me feel humble.
I get beyond excited about seeing wildlife and yes, my family takes pictures of squirrels when they come visit me from abroad.
I've loved to draw and paint my entire life but became more dedicated to my art journey after becoming a mom. I now receive orders from all over the United States, Europe and even as far away as Australia.

Some fun facts about me:
- I find inspiration in nature and enjoy learning about hummingbirds, wildlife, foraging for wild foods and mushroom hunting. I recently became a certified Oregon Master Naturalist as a way to give back to my community.
- I love a good story. Besides art supply stores, book stores and libraries are my other favorite places to hang out.
- I pay attention to the details and strive to have a grateful heart every day.
- I love cozy socks and warm knitted sweaters. I wear jeans pretty much always. My hair is terribly frizzy and I give up on it most days (during wildfire season, our daughter once called it "0% contained").
- I believe genuine care, respect and compassion can make a real difference in this world.
- I love animals and have been known to make everything come to a stop to help a lost dog find its home again.
- Kids make me smile!
I'd love to talk with you about licensing my artwork to make your product stand out beautifully! Also did you take a peek at my new collection?
