Illustraties voor psychologie, psychiatrie, verhalen, en portretillustraties

About Marieke

I am a registered physician, scientific researcher, and freelance illustrator. Drawing has always been a part of my life. Even as a child, I was creating illustrations for the stories and books I read. My scientific background allows me to translate complex scientific and medical concepts into clear and informative illustrations. I primarily focus on topics within psychology and psychiatry. My goal is to create illustrations that are not only visually appealing but also surprising, convey a message, and perhaps even make people smile.

In addition to medical-scientific and educational illustrations, I find tremendous pleasure in illustrating stories, drawing portraits and creating portraits and portrait illustrations to accompany stories and articles. My narrative illustrations primarily centre around human experiences. In these drawings, atmosphere and expression play central roles.
