Hi, I’m Lieke van der Vorst, the illustrator behind Liekeland. I illustrate mostly with materials like colored pencil, pens and oil paint. Currently I live in my hometown Eindhoven, where Koen and I renovated a 124 year old house and added a wooden extension with lots of light. In my studio I make illustrations for my own products as well as for clients.Nature is a recurring theme in my work, capturing a sense of positivity while still addressing serious issues. I try to use my illustrations to make a positive impact on the world and to inspire others and myself to be more aware of the little things.All of my illustrations are printed on Arctic Paper, which uses only a minimum amount of water and energy to produce their ecological and FSC-certified paper. This paper is printed locally in the Netherlands. Liekeland’s bags are made from firm organic cotton, in a fairtrade factory using water-based ink.You can follow me on instagram to see a glimpse of my inspiration, house and studio.https://www.instagram.com/liekevandervorst/
