Bonjour!

I am Marianne, French illustrator based near Maastricht, Netherlands. Mother of 3 girls, serial expat, I love listening to people stories and create personalised illustrations for them. A gift to themselves or their loved ones that will become their treasured memorabilia! Each painting is created with love according to my inspiration or the ideas I collect from your stories. Watercolor, ink, or acrylic are usually painted on 300mg watercolor paper unless otherwise specified. Contact me if you have any question, suggestion or ideas!
