Riek Wesseling was born in 1914 in the Dutch East Indies. Despite family opposition, she studied at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam, where she was taught by Johannes Hendricus Jurres and Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita. When her father discovered her homosexuality, Wesseling underwent psychiatric treatment for several months, based on the prevailing view at the time that this was a treatable condition. Her father died in 1942 as a resistance fighter in Camp Amersfoort.
In 1947, Wesseling was involved in the founding of the Dutch Circle of Artists. In 1984, she collaborated with her partner Ingrid van Delft on her autobiography, "Riek Wesseling: A Portrait in Black and White," published by Rapenburg in Amsterdam. In this book, she spoke candidly about her life and her lesbianism.
