A Creative Life Rooted in Balance, Adventure and Purpose
Welcome to Artists Guide to GIMP, where creativity meets wellness, and storytelling finds its digital brush. We are a creative duo on a mission to live a purposeful life—one that blends art, nature, travel, and health into a vibrant journey of self-expression and discovery.
In a world full of pressure, competition, and distractions, we believe in slowing down, reconnecting with what matters, and creating with intention. This space is a reflection of that belief.
Our Story
We are partners in both life and creativity. Our backgrounds are as diverse as our interests. I hold a Master’s degree in International Business, and Jerry graduated in Social Informatics with a strong foundation in statistics and data analytics. Together, we bring a mix of strategic thinking and creative exploration to everything we do.
We lived in Slovenia until 2012 before deciding to take a leap and move to Switzerland. It was more than a change of address—it was a shift in mindset. I am half Slovenian and half Swiss, raised bilingual, which made adapting to a new country smoother in some ways. But like anyone starting over abroad, we faced challenges that shaped us and deepened our understanding of resilience, adaptation and personal growth.
What Drives Us
Our journey is rooted in a few core passions that guide our lifestyle and this platform:
- Creative Expression: Whether through digital design, photography or storytelling, we are passionate about making art that reflects the richness of life.
- Healthy Living: We live an active lifestyle filled with hiking, cycling, yoga, kayaking, and time outdoors. We prioritize organic food, hydration, movement, and mindfulness.
- Meaningful Travel: We seek not just to see the world but to experience it fully—through adventure, connection and curiosity.
This website is where we share what we have learned and continue to explore. From practical GIMP tutorials for artists and designers, to reflections on work-life balance, living abroad, and holistic well-being—this space is both personal and purposeful.

But beyond software tips, this is also a place to talk about the bigger picture. The balance between work and creativity. The journey of building a life abroad. The ways we can stay grounded and inspired in an often chaotic world.
