A moment of tranquility captured in a painting
Let the energy of nature fill your space and create an oasis of calm in your life
Sometimes you are in the midst of the hectic pace of daily life and are looking for something that brings peace and harmony.
My work is an invitation to leave that chaos of the day behind and immerse yourself in a moment of peace.
Whether it’s a painting, print or a creative course – it’s about the feeling you create in your space and in your life. Where you can slow down, be there for yourself and bring in a piece of nature wherever you are.
Hello, I’m Nathalie
An artist, mentor and educator
I believe in the power of art and creativity as a counterbalance to all the busyness of life. A painting can bring a piece of stillness and softness. Creativity invites you to slow down, to feel and brings peace of mind.
Every brush stroke I make, every color I choose is inspired by nature. The stillness of a morning walk, the soft springing of the earth beneath my feet. The whispers of the wind, the drops of the rain and the murmur of the sea. The smell of newly cut grass in autumn or the sweet perfume-like scent of flowers in spring.
New steps in my creative journey
My creative journey began with various materials, mostly acrylic paint, but over time I discovered that natural pigments were a better fit. Colors that come directly from the earth and therefore connect the paintings even more with nature and of course are better for nature. It is a new path and this process takes time. And that fits exactly with what my work brings: an invitation to slow down.
Therefore, the first paintings in this new series are still developing. It requires patience, curiosity and experimentation in the studio. The studio where music is still on in the background, letting my hand and brush move to the tones and rhythm. Inspired by nature, the cycles of life and intuitively painting from the heart

My life journey brought me an unexpected insight
Although creativity played an important role in my life since childhood, I chose a path to helping and guiding children, adolescents and adults. After working more than 20 years in education and (mental) health care, I consciously chose a quieter path about 10 years ago, when I was in my mid-30s. Creativity, nature and silence brought me back to myself. Nowadays I find that peace in painting to the rhythm of music and in walks in the woods and at the seaside.
The paintings, the courses, that what I now bring into the world gives people what they need in a different way. I am still helping people. I bring an oasis of peace and serenity with my paintings and help people step by step get closer to themselves and live a naturally harmonious life with my courses and guidance.
A different path, but still bringing light into the lives of others with a lot of (self) compassion.

about me
No coffee please! Only tea. But I do LOVE the smell of it. Especially freshly ground coffee beans. It brings me right back to calm sunday mornings with the family.
In love with the color Pink. Don’t know why, just in love with it!
Nature is a big part of my life and in what I offer. But I don’t appreciate the insects, especially spiders, in my home. I kindly ask my husband to bring them outside again!
