Marja Lee Kruÿt was born and raised in the Netherlands in the province of Drenthe, a beautiful, dolmen-studded region in the northeast of the country, near the German border.

She spent five years studying fashion illustration design in Amsterdam, and at the age of twenty she embarked on a professional career as a fashion illustrator.

In 1964, Marja moved to London, where she created fashion drawings for major stores in England and abroad, as well as for newspapers and magazines, such as Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. She was also involved in the ballet -- both as a dancer and as a costumer for various productions, and she made clothes for a Plimlico boutique that catered to the likes of Marianne Faithful, Mick Jagger, Pete Townsend, and Brian Jones.

The astonishing pictures that she's creating now have an assurance and a rich maturity of vision that's been quietly brewing over all these years. They've emerged like dreams, straight from the subconscious, each one a treasure of mythic art.
