I'm Sylvia van Ommen, I like to draw. I also enjoy being outside, feeling sunshine on my face, eating self grown food,, cold showers, solving puzzles, a coffee in the morning and take time to look at the world around me.

I've been drawing for as long as I remember. Each time I start a blank sheet I marvel at the process of something coming into being with ink or paint, pencil or pen. Anything can happen!

I went to the art academy where I specialized in illustration. In 2001 I graduated with lots of drawings and the book 'drop'. It was picked up by a publisher and before I knew it 'drop' (jellybeans) came out. It got translated in nine languages. Soon after I made 'de verrassing' (the surprise) which also is translated.
