A Day of Creativity with Ilse

By |2024-10-31T23:13:46+01:00October 2nd, 2024|Art, Artist Life|

Today, I had the pleasure of hosting a private art class for Ilse, a remarkable woman who has spent many years as an executive secretary and management assistant. Despite her busy office life, Ilse has always nurtured a creative side, and in her free time, she enjoys painting, sculpting, and crafting.

Guess Who’s Back? Nicole’s Second Private Art Class Adventure!

By |2024-09-22T21:24:44+02:00September 22nd, 2024|Art, Artist Life|

Here she is again—do you recognize her? It’s Nicole, the goldsmith behind Mimmie Sieraden, and she’s back for round two of my private art class! After her first class, she was so inspired that she designed and handcrafted a pair of pure gold earrings. Today, she came wearing them, ready to create a stunning artwork once more! This time, we painted a stunning half-face portrait of her daughter, Jolie, capturing every detail, from her freckles to her flowing hair. Nicole couldn’t have been happier with how the piece turned out, especially since it looks just like her daughter! [...]

No blueprint, no guarantees: against all odds!

By |2024-09-14T13:46:22+02:00September 14th, 2024|Artist Life|

Is it hard to be an artist? Is living off your art as a single mom difficult? These are questions I get asked often. My answer? Yes and no. When I started this journey, I didn’t have a blueprint. I didn’t have a crystal-clear idea of what I was going to create, nor how I was going to make a living out of it. All I knew was that I wanted to be an artist, but the path ahead was uncertain. Ten years ago, I switched careers. I left behind the familiarity of my previous life to venture [...]

Embracing Discomfort to Achieve Success: My Journey

By |2024-10-31T23:14:07+01:00September 2nd, 2024|Art, Artist Life|

Success—what does it really mean? Is it about wealth, status, or something deeper? For me, it’s about freedom—the freedom to live without the constraints of society’s expectations. But achieving this freedom isn’t just about hard work. If it were, everyone would be successful. It’s about something more, something most of us avoid: stepping out of our comfort zones. Our comfort zones are like warm blankets that shield us from the world. They make us feel safe but also hold us back from growth. Whether it’s endlessly scrolling through social media, binge-watching TV shows, or sticking to familiar routines, [...]

How to Break Out of Your Comfort Zone to Achieve Your Dreams

By |2024-10-31T15:23:35+01:00August 25th, 2024|Artist Life|

Yesterday, as I was walking outside, something caught my eye—a small sprout breaking through the top of the soil. It was a simple, natural occurrence, but it made me pause and reflect. Think about it: how challenging must it be for that sprout to muster the strength to leave the comforting soil behind? The earth is like a warm, protective cocoon, shielding it from the harsh elements of the world. Yet, despite the challenges—rain, wind, fluctuating temperatures, and even threats from insects and birds—many sprouts not only survive but thrive, blossoming into beautiful flowers or towering trees. This [...]

We talked about her favorite colors, [...]

Embracing Camp – A Personal Journey to Artistic Expression

By |2024-08-16T23:21:16+02:00August 16th, 2024|Art, Artist Life|

As an artist, I often get compliments about my art, people say there's something about my work that consistently captivates them. They often describe it as elegant and stylish. But I think there's another layer to it; a playful edge that embodies camp! This campy sensibility has been with me since childhood when I delighted in dressing up with petticoats, shiny shoes, and quirky hair accessories. Even then, I was drawn to the slightly eccentric, a style that was bold but never crossed the line into the bizarre. Dress Up and Play Growing up, I always felt the [...]
