For the past 15+ years, I've been working as a professional dog photographer and I've been sharing dog stories, photographs, and shoots for many years on the Dutch version of this website and blog. After organizing a series of workshops I discovered the joy of...
With the Midsommar celebrations, summer has finally arrived in Sweden- and we're loving it! I've been drawing a lot lately: for the 100-day drawing challenge, illustrations, and sketching on location. And what was Lizzie up to when she was acting sneaky? ...
Since traveling, I lost track of the number of weeks I've been drawing the dogs for the 100-day projects, but that's all right; the most important thing is making and sharing the drawings, not the numbers. This week flew by, and despite our summer solstice celebration,...
Do you ever stumble upon scenes that feel like they belong in a story? Recently on a walk with the dogs, a narrow, overgrown path that didn't look very promising, suddenly opened up at the edge of the forest and turned into a track made...
In my previous post, I shared how recently it was time to shake things up. For a little while my steady routine went out the doors and we traveled all the way south to Portugal, I went on my very first art retreat with artists...

A glimpse into quiet spring days with my dogs—some time by the lake, creative flow in the studio, and the small moments in between. I’m working on my 100-day project, drawing dogs from our Instagram community, and soaking up the season as it slowly unfolds....
Just a small club of four sweeties joining the #the100daysproject this week. I’ll be on the move a lot the next few weeks, so I’ll aim for 3-4 drawings a week. The good news is I’ll be catching up on some suggestions I missed in earlier rounds....
As I sit down to write this post, the warm and sunny days feel so far away. I feel the wintery mood in my bones and dive deep into my warm cardigan. The light outside is flat, the sky shades of grey, a perfect day...
