Respite
I remember I painted this watercolour a while ago, taken by the urge to paint clouds. I remember that the cactuses turned out to be quite flat and the clouds decent, and I remember me thinking – did I have to add those childish… Continue Reading “Respite”
Mirror mirror…
A few years ago I discovered, thanks to my mother, the art of découpage. Then, a while later, I discovered the incredibly cheap IKEA mirrors. And put two and two together. These are the results up to now…what do you think?
Little painting
I found this watercolour that I made about ten years ago, in Rome. It’s quite small and peaceful, don’t you think?
The Cheshire Genet
Remember the genet I drew, twice? Well, after that I took the matter in my own hands and, with that same genet in mind, drew something similar. Now they’re hanging one next to each other. Quite cute, actually.

Singing Fody
A moment of artistic inspiration, stemmed from a photo of a Fody (Foudia madagascariensis) I took this winter in the Seychelles. Am planning on doing a series.
Toucan
This is the first watercolour I was ever proud of. Yes, it’s a bit lopsided, but I still love it.
Little pockets of happiness
Sometimes everything seems to go wrong. And then the cupcakes you make for Valentine’s day come out right. And you make the yummiest duck breast-pear-pine nut salad. And you paint the otter you’ve been wanting to paint for as long as you can remember.… Continue Reading “Little pockets of happiness”
Together with Nicole Duplaix, Chair of the IUCN-SSC Otter Specialist Group , I wrote a book all about otters and how wonderful they are. Check it out We Love Otters
