Erika Van Steensburg lives in the mountains in Italy and is an animal healer. Art has been a part of her life for as long as she can remember. She studied studio art at Smith College in the US focusing on print making (lithography and wood block). These days she enjoys drawing with pencil, pen and watercolour pencils. Her inspirations tend to be magic in everyday “slice of life” moments, animals and nature. Sometimes she likes to add text to her drawings which can at times feel lonely while other times focus on connection. She hopes that her work helps people to feel joyful and peaceful and understood.
