Ordering & Shipping

All products are made to order after purchase. Because the order is printed and made especially for you, it is not possible to return your order. Of course, if something went wrong with the printing or during shipping, I will do everything I can to help you. Please contact me.

Please allow for a shipping time of approximately 7-10 working days (unless otherwise stated).

Despite all efforts to provide an accurate picture of the color and design of each product, the actual colors and design may vary slightly. This is due to different screen settings of the device, the lighting at the installation location, small differences in the finish of the product over time and other factors.

TODAY IS THE DAY! Sign ups are open for Pitch your TODAY IS THE DAY! Sign ups are open for Pitch your Portfolio. The course is hosted by the super organized Shannon McNab of @sketchdesignrepeat. This course shows you step-by-step how to find, connect with, and present your art to companies. She shows you for example how to organise your files and keep track of what’s what in Airtable (I love Airtable, it makes boring tasks fun!). 

But the best thing I got from this course though is CONFIDENCE. It really helped me to find art directors to contact and actually reach out. Shannon is such an approachable and fun teacher and the class has been super helpful. I am an affiliate for this class but I wouldn't be if I didn't think it was a worthwhile investment.⁠ 

If you have questions, DM me. I’m happy to help you clarify if this course is for you. Enrollment is now open. Get in while you can! Last time it filled up in no time. If you are considering it the link is in my bio. It's absolutely worth it!

If you sign up through the link in my bio*, I’m offering you a $25 gift certificate from amazon or your favorite (online) art supply store.

I love to make art and build patterns, but then wh I love to make art and build patterns, but then what? Do I have enough art to approach companies and where do I find them? 

These were questions I struggled with last year. I found the answers in Pitch your Portfolio a six module course hosted by Shannon McNab of @sketchdesignrepeat. Pitch your Portfolio is a course that shows you step-by-step how to find, connect with, and present your art to companies. It's geared towards the surface design industry, but I'd consider the information on how to draft your intro emails, set up templates to show your available work, and the brilliant way Shannon organizes her contact search to be valuable for any medium.

Tada! This is my newest make. A springy bouquet of Tada! This is my newest make. A springy bouquet of daisies in a red square vessel. The painting has been on my desk for almost 4 months waiting to be finished with colorpencils in 15 minutes this afternoon :) I know… I feel a daisy pattern emerging in the near further and an art print for sure.

It is important to create your own happiness! I us It is important to create your own happiness! I usually describe myself as a late blooming wallflower, my superpower is that I can be invisible in a room full of people (no joke, that really happend on multiple occasions!). I no longer want to hide in plain sight, I no longer want to be that wallflower, I want to decorate those walls. My work is shifting from graphic design to surface & pattern design. My mission is to fill the world with colorful patterns, surface designs and art that lift your spirits, cheer up an interior and lightens up a room on a cloudy day. I am interested in colors and how they affect people. It is my dream to be a successful surface designer, to see my work being made and putting a smile on people's faces. It took me forever to realize that in order to make all these dreams come true, I have to stop hiding. Do the work and show up :) 1) in my favorite companies inboxes to introduce myself. And 2) also here, for myself, to see all that I’ve already accomplished.

My design style can be described as bold, bright a My design style can be described as bold, bright and graphic. I like to work with Adobe Illustrator and create clean shapes, but small imperfections like not quite round circles play a big role in my signature style. I like to start with real paint and pencils on paper and then either vectorize them or redraw things on my computer. I am not afraid to use fresh bright colors.

Today is March first and that means #MarchMeetTheM Today is March first and that means #MarchMeetTheMaker is happening again :) Coming weeks I will be introducing my brand and myself to you. This first post is all about Brand Introduction. Did you know that the name LemonPattern is a play on my last name? My name is Petra van der Lem and I am a freelance graphic, surface & pattern designer working and living in The Netherlands. I love the scent of freshly squeezed lemons and other citrus fruits. It seems that yellow is my go-to color at the moment and that has honestly nothing to do with the #pantonecoloroftheyear

These designs should have been called Go-with-the- These designs should have been called Go-with-the-Flow and were supposed to be a collection about Jellyfish :) all the parts and pieces are there. What it is called is Water Surface Textures and the colors are based around the Flexa Color of the Year: Brave Ground. I love how water can have so many different looks. A slow stream in a river bed. Rolling waves at sea. Muddy puddles when it rains and calmly reflecting the sunlight on a lake. This more natural color palette combines very well with light blue and warm reds. Go-with-the-flow, a change of pace, let your subconscious guide you. Find your way, leave your mark, you’re in charge. Don’t let anybody rush you, take your time, have confidence you're going places.
