Mimi

In today’s episode, I have a conversation with the talented Marloes DeVries, a dutch artist, illustrator and author. She’s truly multi-talented.

In our chat, we explore her upbringing in the countryside and how she knew very early on that she wanted to be a painter.

We also discuss how she progressively went from illustrating other people’s visions, especially in children’s books, to sharing her own.

Marloes also recently released her first book, for now only available in dutch, titled “Having children is optional” which led to a very interesting conversation on the topic and the stigma which surrounds it.

Finally, we talked about freelance life, boundaries and mental health, without forgetting to discuss Marloes' immense love for the UK.

I really hope you enjoy this episode...Here we go!
