I've been drawing for as long as I can remember.
But the fire really ignited in my garden.
There are animals crawling around that hardly anyone notices.
Plants grow there that nourish entire ecosystems.
I wanted to understand what I was seeing —
And for that, I had to draw.
Small animals, big stories
What does the snail actually eat?
Why do bees love some flowers and not others?
Which birds are singing every morning?
I started taking notes:
• What does each plant need?
• how insects live
• who supports whom
A garden is a universe.
You just have to look more closely.
Nature journaling – my creative treasure trove
I set off:
• in forests
• in parks
• to the sea
Draw comparisons. Discover. Capture.
With pencil, later watercolor, sometimes oil pastel or acrylic.
Each medium tells a different story:
• Watercolor flows
• Oil pastel expresses
• Acrylic makes a statement
I love working with my hands.
Screens can't do that.
Paper, texture, color — that's magic.
🧡 Talent is practice in all its phases
I couldn't.
I stuck with it.
Repetition is the best miracle. ✨
And my little pictures became motifs,
that live today on your cards, stickers & creative kits.
Yours, Nicole
