About Me ★
Hi! I’m Mari. I’m a Dutch artist and old school blogger and I’m all about visual stimulation!I made this photo blog to share lots of visuals with you: cute art, animals, delicious food, mini games, travel pictures, graphic resources and more.
I hope my works make you smile. It would mean the world to me!

Personal
In the recent years, my life revolved entirely around the sickness and death of both of my parents, who died within one and a half years from one another. My dad passed away on January 14th of 2022, and my mom passed away on April 18th of this year.
The recent years have been a very heavy time for me, as I ended up taking on the role of full-time caretaker for my mom after my dad – her husband of 53 years – died three weeks after she was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
Having lived with my parents and in my childhood home all this time, it hurts that I am not allowed to continue renting this place: now that my parents have died, I have to move out.
Now, I am in the process of moving from The Netherlands to The Philippines and I invite you to follow me on my journey in the next chapter of my life.
Backyard Cats
I run a YouTube channel called Backyard Cats, featuring my cats Tommy (11) and Ricky (3). The videos capture their life, but in a way, they also show my life through theirs.
The Backyard Cats YouTube channel first and foremost serves as a video diary for myself. Needless I am thrilled to introduce Ricky and Tommy to you and share my cats’ lives with you. The channel is updated regularly!
