Art and the Creative process: An Enchanting Path to Your Unique Self
Art and the Creative process: An Enchanting Path to Your Unique Self I draw a lot of inspiration from nature both in my life and in my paintings and illustrations. Being in nature brings a sense of calm and helps me to be in the moment, out of my head for a while. Then the best ideas come naturally. Sometimes I get inspiration from what I see there for the next collection of paintings. It might be the colours, like the beautiful calming green of the grass and leaves or a cheerful bright...

Hi, I’m Nathalie Bonte
In my mid 30s I decided to take a path to find more ease, calm and rest. I started to walk in nature more often, embraced my creativity and started painting and drawing again. My favorite moments are when I can let my brush move to the sounds and rhythm of the music, which is always on in the background, while intuitively creating with paint.
Creativity, mindful living and nature have since become the foundation of my business in which I use my art, (creative) courses and 1:1 guidance to increase self-care and well-being. Having worked as a family therapist, behavioral scientist and school psychologist for more than 20 years, I know how difficult and important it can be not only to help others, but also to take good care of yourself and follow your own desires.
As an artist, guide and educator I am here to help you increase your creativity, well-being and self-care.
Get inspired to rest, create and be yourself. You’re worth it!
