From my urban jungle in Utrecht, The Netherlands, I portray glorious mamas and create illustrations to empower myself (and hopefully many others) in my adventure of single motherhood.
Besides my precious time illustrating, I spent my time reading pirate picture books, pushing the swing and baking banana pancakes with my two little loves Nur and Maimun.
Whilst carrying the youngest boy in my belly, Mooon Moms was my personal project to visualize a sweet motherhood experience. Even though it was going to be a solo adventure, as my love-relationship just stranded. Illustrating brave beautiful mamas, inspired me to write my own awesome motherhood story and break with the sad sterotypes of single moms.
By now I have had the honour to portray many amazing mamas with their little (and big) loves. And amazing women without bebes, from all around the globe.
My adventures in Morocco are a huge inspiration. This place holds a very special spot in my soul, as it holds the roots of my two beautiful boys.
I am feeling blissfully blessed to run this creative business. So much gratitude for all the amazing beings I got to create for.
May my illustrations nourish your soul and bring lotsa joy, sweet sista!

Ive had the pleasure to create for a huge variety of amazing people and projects. Many amazing mamas trusted me with the mission of a Personal Mama Portrait. As well many families and cat-moms. The chaos and glory of my solo motherhood are honoured in my work. There has been also some precious projects on my path in collab with doulas and other birth workers. And I aim to empower others in this wild journey.
To celebrate sisterhood and my beloved friends surrounding me, I did create lots of illustrations of nourishing scenarios where women get together. Lots of my inspiration arrises when strolling tru the streets of Morocco or whilst zipping coffee in the library. These illustrations are printed as postcards and sold all over the globe.
But besides these sweet themes, I also aim to use my illustration work to rise up for the oppressed! And I am always keen to collab for fundraisers and to create for campaigns creating awareness about social injustice.
