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 ;) 1991 born in Susteren (province of Limburg, the Netherlands) 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. |
