...and welcome to Femtasia, the digital homeworld of my fantastical creatures and characters. For your viewing pleasure I’ve captured them in acrylic paint, colour or graphite pencil or on (gilcée) print. The latest pieces can be found in the Work chapter.
Have a pleasant stay and hope to see you again soon!

Beware of fake prints!
Recently I found out that some joker was cutting up art books and sold the pages with my work as ‘matted prints’ on Ebay. Please don't fall for this scam, you’ll buy a ripped out page! If the print isn’t for sale in my shop or the image looks odd (i.e. larger or in a small matting) it could be a fake. If you come across one, please notify me. (And get the real deal at my shop). Thanks so much! -Femke
