Hello!

My name is Sjoukje Leeverink.

I live in a small town in the north of The Netherlands together with my beautiful and
loving cats (yes, I guess I am a genuine cat-lady). I work as social worker and
I study psychology.

For many years now I have been creating art with God. 
I made my first collage with Him in 2004 and experienced the incredible force that happens when God moves in us through art. Throughout the years He has expanded on this greatly and shown me that He wants to use my art for others as well.

Created to create

So here, at From the Mere, I want to share both the art I make with Him and the lessons that I learned in doing so. 

If there's one thing that I know for sure, it is that God will use creativity as a means to connect with everyone. Whether it is looking at artwork, or creating yourself, He uses it powerfully. To speak, to heal, to connect, to inspire, to bring rest, to teach us to follow Him.

Made in the image of the God who created the earth: we are ALL created to create.

From the Mere

When God created mankind He said "Let us create mankind, in our image, in our likeness (...)". That can also be translated into "Mere" or "reflection". 

When I create my art I do so in partnership with Him.
I listen to Him, talk with Him, and let the art be a reflection of what He wants to show of Himself as best as I can.

Without Him I'm merely human and don't have much to offer.
But when I start 'from the mere' of what I have, I get the honor to reflect parts of the Creator of the universe.
