Hi! I am Suzi, artist based in Delft, the Netherlands.
I am also a wife and mother of two lovely boys boys. I work with watercolor, acrylics and digital media to create illustrations and paintings.
I am inspired by nature, my family and my faith.
I completed a masters in Contemporary Art at Leiden University and then discovered that I wanted to create art myself. I worked as a film maker, animator and illustrator. During this time I continued to develop my personal work.
Becoming a mother definitely turned my life around in a beautiful way and helped me to focus on what was is essential. What remained was an urge to show the beauty of this world and to create beauty with my hands. My paintings are reminders to pause and be in awe of this life experience.
When I am not creating you can find me on my bike with my kids, in our veggie garden, reading a book or making our home cozy.
I am available for collaborations, commissioned work and various projects. If you would like to work with me contact me at info@suzicolpa.nl
I love to help others find beauty, balance and meaning through my artwork and writing. I share inspiration through my newsletters.
