ABOUT THE ARTIST

Hannelie Zuithoff Kimberley South Africa I started at a very late stage of my life to paint. I was admitted to a Psychiatric Hospital for treatment of Depression. Part of the treatment was creative activities. I learned to do fabric Waterpainting and really enjoyed it a lot. When I was discharged and back at home I just carried on with fabric painting. A friend of mine invited me to Art Classes every second Saturday afternoon. I then started to paint with Acrylic paint on fabric. During a five day course in Portrait Painting by Wiets van Rensburg I started to work on canvasses with Oil Paint. I do prefer to use oil paint on canvases and enjoy doing Landscapes. Painting has become much more than therapy to me. It has become a lifestyle.
