ABOUT

I'm Nadya, a Dutch artist. I live in The Netherlands, where I have my art studio in Terwinselen. I live together with my husband, our son, two bunnies and lots of plants.

I have been drawing ever since I was a little girl and enjoy it a tremendous amount until this day! I'm building the world my anthropomorphic characters live in one sketch at a time and I love sharing all of this with you!

I am a human artist
My ideas, illustrations and text are all created by me, without the use of AI.
My illustrations are made by hand with much devotion and attention to detail. I use graphite pencils, water colours, gouache and color pencils, or a mix of all of them.

Internationally my work is represented by Claire Easton at Painted Words.
For picture book, licensing and other commercial inquiries, you can contact her at info@painted-words.com to get to know more about my availability.
