Bespoke Pieces from Dirkie’s Small Home Studio

Hi there, I am so glad you’re here.

I’m Dirkie, the artist behind Mood Forest. I work from a small home studio in the beautiful countryside town of Stellenbosch, South Africa.

Here I draw inspiration from my natural surroundings. The clouds that sweep over the mountains most mornings and the mist that swirls between the tree tops when I go for an early hike. These scenes leave me feeling a deep connection with nature that I translate into color on paper.

I enjoy creating bespoke pieces full of vibrancy that has the ability to move with your mood and encourage you to dream and expand your imagination.

*Please note: Previously I have also created work using my second name, Lia Nell

“When I look at one of Dirkie’s paintings, I feel a sense of happiness wash over me. I knew I just had to invite this joy into my home.” - Collector
