Welcome to

Lead in The Clouds

Where my creativity flows and life unfolds! 
I'm Claudia, 39, and proudly wear many hats: expat, fiancé, cat mom, artist, child of God, and creative author.

I'm a dreamer with

My Head in the Clouds

From pencil lead to paper, to artworks in the cloud - yep, the digital space kind - I hope that anyone from anywhere can enjoy the world through my eyes.

I love to research and share interesting tidbits.
My latest projects The Doors of Maastricht, and
The Honest Expat Guide to The Netherlands, published this year.

It brought me immense joy and has been a fulfilling journey.

Lead in the Clouds

The Meaning

There's a double meaning behind the name.
My mission is to share God's love. He has always been there for me in both obvious and unexplained ways, and has walked beside me all my life.
I'm constantly inspired by His word and creations.
I believe in trusting God's promises and guidance.

Through my artworks and books, I hope to share my perspective on God.

Psalm 37:24: Though we may stumble, we won't fall, for God holds us in His hand.

The Netherlands

The Dutch Dream

Even though grey skies are a challenge, I navigate life by finding joy in the little things that make each day special.

This country has woven its magic into my heart, inspiring me to start a small jewellery business, which eventually led me here.
