About me
Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable -if anything is excellent or praiseworthy- think about such things.
~Philippians 4:8

Hi, I am Anna, reader, traveller, painter, based in he Netherlands.
I love creative expression in all its forms, and thrive on all things beautiful, both big and little; From great outfits to golden sunlight hours and from far away places to captivating art.
I want to share my art with other people whenever I can, to inspire them to find their personal #goodthings in ordinary moments, and be moved by life's little graces.
While my work often has universal themes, my personal creativity is rooted in my faith. I am inspired by the creative drive of God who made christal caves so deep underground that they won't ever be seen: beauty for beauty's sake.
I mostly use aquarels, liquid acrylics and China Ink on aquarel paper for my waterbased artworks. On canvas or other surfaces (walls, cloth, etc.) I use regular acryllic paint.
My work often uses mixed media techniques, including a combination of painting and paper-mache of torn up (painted) paper, and the use of various 3D elements such as modeling paste, shells, etc. The chosen materials, colours and techniques are often inspired by my Asian background.
For glass engraving I use a handgrinder tool and a wood burner for wood engraving.
