About Me

Hi, I'm Denise, a self taught artist from The Netherlands (1982).

I always was a creative but for over 40 years I thought I wasn't really good at painting or drawing

A spiritual experience changed it all and compelled me to start teaching myself with the help of online recources, since I did not have the funds nor energy to go to formal art school.

In 2023 I started slowly. And then I took 2024 off to focus fully on myself: To both heal my inner wounds and go all in on my self taught art journey simultaneously. 

I did not realize it at first, but art, inner healing and spirituality are very interconnected.

I learned so much along the way - and am still learning everyday. I've always had a passion to help others. Therefore it's only natural that I am passionate about sharing my knowledge with you in my blog.

So whether you are here to learn more about the story behind my art, or whether you resonate with my story and want to learn more about becoming a self taught artist, my blog will provide what you need.

(A formal artist statement can be found here.)

About the Blog

For over 2 years I deeply researched how reality and our minds work from the overlapping perspectives of:

  • Neuroscience
  • Quantum science
  • Spirituality & Religion
  • Psychology


My conclusions are life changing, especially when applied to your art dream!


If you ever felt like you would want to live a creative life like an artist (meaning a painter or maybe even a writer, graphic designer, etc) but it all felt out of reach to you - you don't want to miss this!

In my blog we discuss things like

  • How to become a self taught artist 
  • Artist Identity Shifting 
  • Art & Mental Health 
  • Inner Artist Child Healing
  • Manifesting Your Artist Dream Life
  • and many things more!

So if you have a deep hidden dream of pursuing a creative life, these topics will set you free of the believe you don't have enough talent and you don't have what it takes to pursue your dreams.


We learn to apply the knowledge and step into the identity of who we were meant to be in this life.

Come on the journey with me!
