About Mrs. Emmer

I am Marieke, aka Mevrouw Emmer, mother of two (little) misters and living together with my Lief and our garbage can dog Vlieg and wire-haired miniature dachshund Guusje. In the spring of 2000 I graduated as 'Interior stylist' and in 2005 I graduated from the art academy as 'Graphic designer'. After that I also obtained a certificate for Dessin design.

When I was pregnant with our oldest little man, Mrs. Emmer was 'born'...how nice it was to design a birth announcement! And how nice it would be to be able to do this for others too! After some deliberation...hop, quit my job and get to work.

Illustrating is my passion

My work as an illustrator is my passion. How nice it is to see a smile appear on someone's face when they hold an illustration of mine in their hands or receive it by means of a card, poster, tile, etc. That makes me happy! I also get happy from: the outdoors - I really enjoy a (quiet) beach, but also certainly from city life, the beaming, mischievous and uninhibited faces of my little men, stamping in puddles, the smell of rain after a beautiful sunny day, people watching and shamelessly singing (and dancing) along to the radio. Oh yes, and from coffee. Good coffee is very important.
