Murals that bring a space to life
With years of experience as an artist and muralist, I create unique, hand-painted murals that add beauty, character and value to a space.
Inspired by nature, I love painting trees, plants, flowers and birds. My murals celebrate nature’s beauty, creating a welcoming atmosphere for everyone who enters.
EXAMPLES
I had great fun painting this XL peace dove for author Karin de Man-Rietmeijer of @365dagenvegan, under the watchful eyes of her dogs Hannah and Marina.

For a notary, I brought the forest indoors by painting some leaves that continue onto the wooden desk.
The brief for the mural below was: “Paint something involving illusionism or magic.” It was great to have such creative freedom. Over five working days, spread across several weeks, I transformed the bedroom into this magical stage.
The bottom part of the wall is painted to make it look as though the floor continues up the wall.
The Piesma family in Driebergen asked me to “play a trick on their garage door”. Here’s the result:
•
A close-up of the little plane. This is the Antonov An-2, the largest single-engine biplane in the world.
•
The deer below is painted on the garage door at Gezinshuis Terug naar de Toekomst, a family home in Woudrichem.
•
At Gezinshuis Terug naar de Toekomst, every young person gets their own unique door.
•
The colourful hummingbird below was drawn with pastel chalk.
•
I painted this on seven-year-old Benthe’s bedroom wall 🙂
In Belgium, I had a wonderful stay at Feathery Forest’s vegan woodland cottage, where I created this mural.
I painted Charlie on the front of the cottage. Charlie roams freely there with Teddy. All the animals at Feathery Forest were either adopted because they needed a new home or rescued from animal agriculture.

In Boskoop, I added depth to this garden. And rabbit Snuf is happily munching on the pansies.
•
I created this mural in Purmerend.
•
Around the corner from the wall shown above, I painted the client’s two dogs. The drainpipe and outdoor light are also incorporated into the design.
•
This is a ceiling mural. Since there are bookcases in the room and Eddy wanted something featuring fish, I painted the fish as if they were emerging from the books.
TIME
The time needed to create a mural depends on its size and complexity. Larger murals usually take around five working days. The dove and hummingbird took about two working days, while each indoor door took around one working day.

HOW IT WORKS
• Email me or call +31 6 23 77 88 49 to tell me about the mural you have in mind. Like the idea of a mural but not sure what you’d like? I’d be happy to help you explore the possibilities!
• I always start by creating a digital mock-up in Photoshop, so you can see what the wall will look like.
• Once you’ve approved the digital mock-up, we’ll agree on the dates (and times) when I’ll come and paint.
• While painting, I take photos or videos to show the mural taking shape.
• One week after the mural is finished, it can be varnished for protection.
ANIMAL-FRIENDLY
All the painting materials I use are vegan. For outdoor murals, I use Amsterdam acrylic paint on a base of synthetic Lefranc & Bourgeois gesso or a good-quality primer. Indoors, I use Rembrandt pastel chalk or acrylic paint. Both indoor and outdoor murals are finished with a clear protective varnish, such as Talens Clear Lacquer 133 or Golden MSA varnish.
