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.

Some fun facts about me:
- I find inspiration in nature and enjoy learning about birds, wildlife and mushroom hunting. I recently became a certified Oregon Naturalist as a way to give back to my community.
- I'm currently taking the Mastery Program, an art program for professional artists taught by the Milan Art Institute. You can read about it here.
- 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 small joys and strive to have a grateful heart every day.
- I love cozy socks and warm knitted sweaters. I wear jeans pretty much always.
- 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?
