Social Media Team

Laura van Gaalen

Laura van Gaalen, Illustrator/Animator

She graduated as Animator on the AKV. st. Joost in Breda and has been passionate about drawing her entire life. Words are not her thing. One image says more than a thousand words suits her perfectly.

No style is too difficult for her.


Laura wants to show people the little things in life. How often do we stop to look at a butterfly or the autumn colours of an oak tree? Life is not only about running, racing and the demands that society makes on you. The world is bigger than that. And that is what she wants to convey through her colourful illustration and animation work.

Ymke van Gaalen

Ymke van Gaalen, Illustrator

Graduated as an animator and graphic illustrator at AKV st. Joost in Breda. Converting text to images is her speciality.

After graduating and working in a studio, she started The Artistry together with her twin sister. A place where there is room for all kinds of creative ideas.

It is not for nothing that his slogan is: Think big, every thought matters.


Ymke stands for justice and that everyone can do what is his or her passion. With her illustrations and animations, she wants to guide people through complicated information in a beautiful and colourful way.

And to keep the humour and cheerfulness.
