I'm so excited you're here! Let me tell you a little bit about myself and the wild, wonderful ride that led me back to my love for drawing. When our little whirlwind son Nils came into our lives, something magical happened-I rekindled my passion for art. Between all the craziness of being parents, I found solace in picking up my Ipad drawing in Procreate, letting my imagination run wild with my favorite subject - cute animals.
I’ve always had a soft spot for quirky, colorful creatures, and now, I’m sharing that love with the world. That’s how my Etsy shop was born! I wanted to give people a fun, hands-on way to bring my animal illustrations to life, so I turned them into DIY sewing kits. Think of it as a “cut-and-sew” adventure - each kit comes with a panel you can cut out and sew around. Just stuff it and you are done. I also offer my designs as prints for those who prefer hanging art on their walls over hugging it (although no judgment if you do both!).
Beyond Etsy, I’m also teaching online art classes over on Skillshare and Udemy, where I share all my tips, tricks, and creative inspiration. Whether you’re looking to fine-tune your drawing skills or start your own art business, I’ve got you covered. I also illustrated my first kids book Cute Animals a bit ago.
And if you subscribe to my newsletter, you'll get exclusive Etsy promotions, drawing prompts to keep those creative juices flowing, and my best advice on how to turn your art into a thriving business.
So grab a cup of coffee (or whatever fuels your creativity) and let’s get crafting, drawing, and building something beautiful together!
With love and a splash of color,
Marie
