Hello I’m Annemieke,
a Belgium-based traditional artist and illustrator. I have been expanding my creative universe since early childhood, continuously teaching myself new skills ranging from painting in various media, to bookbinding, sewing and costume design. My work lives in the supernatural realm, drawing inspiration from folklore, fairy tales, mythology and fantasy.
I strive to find a certain feeling of timelessness and a connection to the natural world in my work whilst often including some personal symbolism. Relying on my formal training in graphic storytelling and architecture, as well as my self-taught skills, I am creating a mystical world that connects dreams, emotions and Northern European spirituality with a modern visual expression.

“No one should need convincing of Anna’s talents as an artist. Just look at the versatility in her portfolio, her dynamic line work, her expressive use of color – I fell in love with her work at first sight. She’s also incredibly easy to communicate with, diligent about meeting deadlines, and more than willing to keep working on a commission until you’re fully satisfied. In short, Anna is an absolute joy to work with.”
