artist & creator

NADIA ZWIEGELAAR

Welcome to my virtual studio where I share my creative ideas and artworks with you and invite you to join me on my artistic adventure. Whether I’m painting, drawing, or dabbling in new techniques, creating art brings me joy and fills my life with purpose.  

I’m fortunate to have my studio right at home, where I get to share moments with my wonderful husband and our joy in life, Milla! As you explore my work, I hope you find it captivating and that it speaks to you in some way. My goal is to inspire you to see the beauty and meaning in art.

I pour my heart and soul into every piece I create, and I hope that shines through. So, take a moment to browse through my collection—each piece is a little part of me that I can’t wait to share with you!

What are clients saying?

Happy clients remind me that art is more than just an expression—it’s a shared experience that brings people together.

After many years of married life, I didn't have a clue what to give hubby for a gift. Our Snauzie doggies are our kids. Nadia managed to capture not only their exact looks but also each ones unique personalities in a sketch. Nadia, THANK YOU for the absolute most perfect and super personalised gift. Hubby loves!!!

When I lost Bailey, it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever been through. She was more than just a dog—she was family. My friend Nadia made a portrait of her, and honestly, I was speechless. It looked just like her. The expression, those beautiful brown eyes… it felt like she was right there with me again. That portrait brought back so many memories and so much comfort. It means the world to me. Nadia, thank you for such a beautiful and meaningful gift.

Baie dankie Nadia vir hierdie potloodskets wat jy van my Pa gedoen het. Dit is meer as net 'n skets - dit is 'n kosbare herinnering wat met vaardigheid, sorg, liefde en deernis, tot lewe gebring is. Hierdie is persoonlik en tydloos, jou kuns beteken meer as wat woorde ooit kan uitdruk. Baie dankie Nadia xxx

Nadia made me a special painting of Calla Lilies . She used watercolour as the medium. They are my favorite flowers. The softness of the colors is amazing. The painting fits very well with the rest of the decor in my house. Thank you Nadia!
