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.
