Hello, I'm Renée van den Kerkhof, and I visualise what matters.
I enjoy games where you build things, wear dresses with patterns and pockets, make bad puns. I have autism, I am quite short for a Dutch person, I am an active member of the Dutch Labour Party, I like (vegetarian) sushi, would rather drink an icetea than wine. Together with my partner, I try to raise a dog. In vain. My pronouns are she/her. I'm quite a calm person, working in the back, until you put on ABBA or ask questions about dinosaurs ;) and my voice currently squeaks a bit due to vocal cord issues. 1991 born in Susteren (province of Limburg, the Netherlands) 2009 graduated from grammar school Trevianum Scholengroep in Sittard 2012 bachelor Literary Sciences University of Leiden 2015 bachelor Design major Illustration AKV|St.Joost in Breda Since September 2016 I work as a courtroom sketch artist for several Dutch media outlets. Since October 2018 I've painted live at a lot of wonderful weddings. Visit my LinkedIn for a more elaborate curriculum vitae. |

I work everywhere in the Netherlands; going on a trip for a beautiful job is no problem. International clients are welcome as well! The materials I work with vary from project to project; sometimes analogue, sometimes digital (or both) techniques. For my live wedding paintings, I use acrylic paint.
