About

I’m Kaya — an artist, educator, and creative guide based in Den Bosch, the Netherlands.

At the heart of my work is a simple, powerful intention: To explore and express my inner world — so that I can guide others in reconnecting with their own.

I believe that drawing and creativity are tools for transformation. When we slow down, work with our hands, and give form to our inner images, we begin to shift the patterns that hold us back — like self-doubt, perfectionism, or fear of being seen. Through intuitive creative practice, we reconnect with our natural curiosity, confidence, and joy.

My own journey has led me from architecture (MSc, TU Eindhoven) to teaching university-level drawing and design — and now, to building a practice that bridges visual art, inner healing, and education. I work with meditative drawing, visual journaling, and linocut printmaking, offering both structure and space for deep exploration.

Whether we’re learning how to draw in perspective or sitting with quiet, intuitive mark-making, my sessions are always personal, embodied, and kind.

Art, to me, is not about performance. It’s about presence — and remembering who you are.

Let’s learn from creative play — and see where it takes us.

Warmly,
Kaya
