Mieke de Vries - Oil paint on paper, - Sold

I am Mieke de Vries, born in 1943 in Zuilen. I live and work in Maartensdijk, a small village 10 kilometers from Utrecht. During my studies at the teacher training college, the creative subjects were my favorites, especially drawing, painting, and sculpting. I specialized in sculpting with Frater Beatus, focusing on model sculpting. Later, I took model drawing classes at Artibus in Utrecht. After that, I studied model painting at De Toets in Zeist. In my sculptures, the human being, and especially the woman, takes center stage. Women of all shapes and styles: thin, tall, short, and plump! In my paintings, the human being, but also nature, takes center stage: landscapes, flowers, and animals. My works are regularly featured in exhibitions, and I teach classes in sculpting with clay and wax.
