I would not hesitate to recommend Little Liefje to any nature lover who is looking to commission a piece or buy a print that can bring them closer to nature, take them back to carefree times, and remind them that the simple things in life really are the best.

Such an adorable print - the splash one - that captures those cute moments when our little ones find a good puddle. It arrived safely, packaged with care, and I look forward to putting it up!

Welcome, I'm Juliana.

I create illustrations and stories that reflect the quiet magic of nature and the moments that stay with us. From the wonder of a child feeling the breeze in their hair, to the memories we carry from our own childhoods.

Drawn by hand and rooted in stillness, my nature inspired art brings together birds, children, and the natural world as gentle reminders of who we are beneath the noise. Through this lens, I hope to offer not just art, but calm, connection, and a return to what matters.

You’re warmly invited to explore my collections, commission something personal, or reach out if you feel a creative collaboration calling.

And just in case you are curious...

‘Liefje’ (pronounced leaf-yuh) is a Dutch word that echoes feelings of affection. It’s often used to describe something small, young or endearing and translates to mean ‘sweetheart’ or ‘darling’.

I chose this name as I want to remind us all that we still have a ‘little liefje’ inside us, seeking the magic that’s all around.
