Dorien Ruben is a creator of colourful, poëtic illustrations and slightly odd stories. Her illustrations are used to accompany articles, enrich stories or attach a feel and face to something that maybe had no face at first.

 

 

 

 

Permaculture and 'doing things differently' to create a better and happier world are a big source of inspiration and a fascination. This makes for an endless research concerning these topics.

In 2011 Dorien wrote a thesis called 'Love, Peace and Illustration' on how we can live differently, be more conscious, healthy and happy and inspire others to think about their lives. For more on these topics, read her weblog.
