About the Artist
I’m a 21 year old watercolor artist from The Netherlands. At 18 I started to paint seriously from home and started uploading to Instagram, which helped me stay consistent and taught me a lot, just like YouTube. I live together with my boyfriend and the cutest pup Mabel. I’ve been diagnosed with Autism. That, together with a rough past, makes me see the world a bit differently, which I’m still learning about. Autism has a very thick stigma. If you tell people you have it, you never know how they react. They could accept you who you are, maybe even learn about it. Or they can use it against you later on and make you feel small. I hope that changes in the future and I’m grateful that I can contribute to that future, even if it’s very small, via Minding Your Mind.
I #LivetoTell through my art that it’s okay to have mental health issues and that art is fun. You can do whatever you want, because if others can do it, you can do it too.
