Besides my autonomous art, I sometimes also work on commissions.

I enjoy working a broad range of different things and ideas, so I’m up for many different projects. Think, for example, of a mural, painting a door, a live painting during your event, a hand-painted advertising sign for your garden, menu designs for your café, unique custom sticker sheets or a personal painting. Some ideas instantly get me excited, but not all projects are for me. I can’t really make a general statement about the exact reasons; I always make a careful consideration in each individual situation. I find it very important for both you and me that the project touches, inspires, and resonates with me. This maximizes the chance of a positive experience for both of us. Therefore, I will always be honest if I think I’m not the right person for a project. However, I’m always open to discussing it! So: if you have an idea, my work resonates with you, and you would like to work with me, feel free to contact me at gwenvanhouwelingen@gmail.com.

My work is almost always analog at its core. Occasionally, I use my tablet to edit or design something, or perhaps refine a logo, but generally not to create anything. I never use generative AI.
