Ellen is the owner and artist of ZeaZo Art Studio, originally from Holland, but very happy to have been living with her family in New Zealand for the past 15 years.

She is a mixed media artist who designs handmade journals and abstract paintings, working in Napier, Hawke’s Bay, from her home on a boat. Her abstract paintings are often influenced by her passion for flowers. She mostly works with acrylics, both on paper and canvas, selling prints and original pieces.

The journals are all handcrafted from top to bottom, painted, and come in a wide range of types and sizes, incorporating various techniques using ink, hand-colored papers, cloth, lace, decorative papers, beads, embellishments, and ephemeral.

So, when you love (art) journaling, unique and handmade notebooks, lapbooks, a keepsake album or would like to have a-one-of-a-kind journal handmade for a special event (pregnancy, birth, birthday, engagement, wedding, etc.), have a look at her beautiful journals.

Ellen aims to recycle as much as possible, and takes custom orders as well.
