We spoke to her about the importance of this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you could be a colour, what colour would it be and why?<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cI don\u2019t know if it\u2019s obvious, but I think I would be pink. I used to really shy away from liking pink when I was a child. I always loved green and blue, and I think maybe because it was associated with being very feminine or very girly that it wasn\u2019t until going through art school that I felt like it was okay to like pink.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Were you born this creative?<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cI think the answer is yes. I\u2019ve always loved being creative and I was lucky enough to continue loving it. I think we often get squashed out of our creativity when we\u2019re young. And so I feel like I was able to pursue it and learn more about creativity and making art through a higher education in art school. I think creativity is how you live your life and not necessarily in the things that you do.\u201d<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"text-image-right-block block\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row flex-column-reverse flex-md-row\">\n\n            <!-- Text -->\n            <div class=\"text-image-right-block__text-wrapper rich-text col-12 offset-lg-1 col-md-6 col-lg-4 offset-xl-2 col-xl-3\">\n\n                <p><strong>What inspires you to create a place for female-identifying artists?<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cI think it\u2019s important in any industry to have a space or a safe space for women or female-identifying persons. Especially when the art is colourful and playful and a bit naive, I think it often isn\u2019t taken that seriously. And so I felt really inspired to create a place that was playful and loving and cheerful and sweet, but that was also a real business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you like the most about being the real pansy behind Pansy?<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cOh, the creative control! I guess the thing that I like the most is really feeling like I can be myself, and that I have the creative freedom to express who I am and what I really love.\u201d<\/p>\n\n                            <\/div>\n\n            <div class=\"text-image-right-block__image-wrapper col-12 offset-md-0 col-md-6 offset-lg-1 mb-4 mb-md-0\">\n\n                                    <!-- Image -->\n                    <div class=\"w-100 text-image-left-block__image-container\">\n                        <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\n                             class=\"image d-block w-100\"\n                             alt=\"Alina &#8211; Visual artist\ufffc\"\n                             src=\"https:\/\/www-backup.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/KDB-Pansy-00002-2-3.jpg\"\n                             srcset=\"https:\/\/www-backup.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/KDB-Pansy-00002-2-3.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www-backup.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/KDB-Pansy-00002-2-3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www-backup.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/KDB-Pansy-00002-2-3-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www-backup.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/KDB-Pansy-00002-2-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www-backup.keesdeboekhouder.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/KDB-Pansy-00002-2-3-1536x1152.jpg 1536w\"\n                             sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\"\/>\n                        <div class=\"rotated-label\">\n                            <label><\/label>\n                        <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"text-image-left-block block\">\n    <div class=\"container\">\n        <div class=\"row\">\n\n            <div class=\"text-image-right-block__image-wrapper col-12 col-md-6 mb-4 mb-md-0\">\n\n                            <div class=\"w-100 text-image-right-block__image-container\">\n                    <!-- Image -->\n                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\n                         class=\"image d-block w-100\"\n                         alt=\"Alina &#8211; Visual artist\ufffc\"\n                         src=\"\"\n                         srcset=\"\"\n                         sizes=\"\" \/>\n                    <div class=\"rotated-label\">\n                        <label><\/label>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n            \n            <\/div>\n\n            <!-- Text -->\n            <div class=\"text-image-left-block__text-wrapper rich-text col-12 offset-md-1 col-md-5 col-lg-4 col-xl-4\">\n                <p><strong>What do you like more: creating things or doing workshops about creating?<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cI really love both in equal amounts.

I was really struggling with my bookkeeping, and when my friend recommended Kees de Boekhouder she said it focussed on  creative people and freelancers, and I felt like: Yes, that\u2019s what I need!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>One more question! What does Kees de Boekhouder mean to you?<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cFor me it\u2019s like a sigh of relief. What I was really looking for in a bookkeeper was being able to ask any question that I wanted to, no matter how silly it was. I also think that as a foreigner or someone who isn\u2019t from the Netherlands, it\u2019s really scary to learn about all of this from scratch, and to learn a new tax system. So having Kees de Boekhouder walk everything through with me and answer all of my questions, felt really safe and less scary.\u201d<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alina creates a nice, safe place for women with her art, design and illustration studio Pansy.
