I am Ilse Nadort (born May 3rd 1996), a traveling artist from Heiloo, the Netherlands. As a child I loved to be creative, from drawing and painting to clay and sculpture. When I started studying, I practiced this hobby less often. During the corona pandemic in 2020 I was able to rediscover drawing and painting and this has become a great passion for me.

Besides my passion for drawing and painting, I also have a passion for traveling. I love to discover new places with completely different cultures. During the corona pandemic I took two photography courses. Now I always go out with a camera to gain inspiration for my portraits. I enjoy going off the beaten track during my travels and to get in touch with the local population.

By portraying people from the countries I have visited, I can connect these two passions. I try to capture the personality of the individual as best as possible. Would you like me to make a commissioned portrait or schedule a photo shoot? Please contact me for a no-obligation quotation.
