Meet Michelle Dujardin
Hi, I’m Michelle – a Dutch illustrator, author and nature lover born in 1979. My work is based on a deep connection to the natural world, shaped by a background in psychology and a passion for creativity. I originally studied clinical and health psychology at Leiden University, but In 2010 I decided to follow my heart and to start my own creative company.
My lifelong love of drawing and painting led me to explore the psychological and spiritual dimensions of creativity. That journey brought me into contact with Buddhist psychology, the scientific approach to drawing of Betty Edwards, and the spiritual approach of Frederick Franck – whose Zen drawing method helped everything fall into place. This blend of mindfulness and art still forms the foundation of my work today.
