Description

Welcome to my page. My name is Lizzy and I am from the Netherlands.
I am an artist and a mother of two happy young-adults.

A couple of years ago, my daughter participated in some Work-away projects which inspired me to join as well.
And now, in januari ‘24, I have been traveling through Afrika for the last six months and still nomading around. Mostly making murals and interior designs/decorating and loving this exchange!

I also do other work than murals. . In Tanzania I was asked to socialize a young dog, which was a wonderful experience. The way she finally danced on the beach with the other dogs... in Uganda now, we are working with children in an art project.

The Workaway method works for me: being part of a host's inspired plan and contribute/exchange. It has given me, besides working together, some good times with hosts and their circle; walking, talking, exchanging, learning, cooking, eating, taking a little time for each other and enjoying ourselves, as well as taking time for myself...

I am an easy going woman; love to laugh, practice yoga and dance.
Born and raised amongst animals, I naturally connect with them.

As a professional artist I make murals (see photo album). As well as outdoor mosaics (see photo of a schoolyard project). Also illustrations for web sites and books.
I am a certified art Teacher and care taker of children in the 'Gordon Method'.
I have experience in garden maintenance & design and I am experienced in hospitality.

Looking forward to a good mutual experience.

Warm greetings, Lizzy

What else ...

I like to work with animals, and with my hands; maintenance, garden, and of course art projects in paint (murals) or tiles (mosaics). Or online on your website to help out. The last decades I prepared a lot of family food as a mom, and therefore am not really interested in a regular place the kitchen, other than making a group contribution like cooking, shopping and cleaning like every body else in the household.
