Hi there, I’m Koosje!

pronounced "Kōsha”

I’m an artist and creative entrepreneur living in the Netherlands. I love drawing and I do it every day. On this website, I hope to inspire you to develop a drawing practice too, because it can make you feel good.

Come draw with me in Amsterdam and let me sign your book

Come draw with me in Amsterdam and let me sign your book

When I was writing my book Life is better when you draw it, I wanted it to be available for people all over the world.
Because the book is self-published, it's available as print on demand, and not available in stores. I am happy with that, because the book can be shipped anywhere in the world.

As it happens, there are now a few book stores who sell my book Life is better when you draw it. One of them is also one of my favorite book shops: Hoogstins , in Amsterdam. It used to be my neighborhood bookshop before I moved last month.

To celebrate that my book is available in this wonderful shop, come draw with me this Saturday and let me sign your book.

If you're in Amsterdam, you're invited to spend an hour drawing together, across the street from the shop. Then we'll visit the shop where you can get a copy of the book and I can sign it for you.

Saturday January 14, 2023

At 14:00 I'll be drawing in De Hallen, across from café Belcampo.
Draw with me in the passageway, sketch the people walking by, draw the vendors on the market, their veggies and fruits.
We'll draw for about an hour, and then we head to Hoogstins.

15:00-16:00 at Hoogstins, I can sign your copy of my book, you can keep drawing inside the shop, and browse books, sketchbooks and other goodies.
I'll be there until 16:00

If you happen to live close by or are in the neighborhood, I'd love to see you then!
