Get to know me

Hi there, lovely to meet you!

My name is Irene and I am an illustrator from Holland, living in London. I founded Makings and Musings with the mission to help busy people find their creative flow through mindfulness and creative workshops.

I love being engrossed in lots of different projects and creative activities. If you are looking for me you can often find me in my studio, working on one of my illustrations or out and about, chatting to people and hosting some kind of event.

I thrive when I have lots of variety in my day and I love meeting new people so if you have an idea for a creative project, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Mindful Creativity,
