About me

My name is Monique Neven-Stillebroer. I live in Mierlo near Eindhoven in The Netherlands, together with my husband Olaf. Drawing and painting is what makes me smile during the day. Also, I see it as my job, my 'calling' to create. In our human ecosystem I feel that creating is what I am here for. My work is mostly inspired by nature.

The materials I use are mainly softpastels and watercolor paints. When I use watercolor paint, I often add ink to give more movement and depth. Combining techniques and trying new materials is part of my creative process as an artist.
