about me

My name is Monique van Dijk, my friends call me Mo, I am married and have two kids and 3 cats. I live in the Netherlands.

Since 2011 I am creating, designing and selling my art, that includes mixed media, art journalling, rubber stamping, card making, scrapbooking and altered art. 

I mainly focus on Steampunk and Gothic ("Dark") or Vintage styles, but also love to do anything creative.


I am a free lance artist/designer teaching classes mainly based around the Decoart paints and mediums, I am a Helping artist and Blogger at Deco Art..
My style varies from mixed media to shabby chic. I also make samples for submissions to various publications using DecoArt paints and mediums. I do online instruction on the use of DecoArt products in both craft projects and mixed media work via You Tube and other sites.
