Bio
Self-taught South African artist Lize van de Ven, paints her beautiful surroundings – currently the coastlines of Bonaire – using mainly a pallet knife. Incorporating tiny bits of paper, wood and sand, she playfully creates texture in her mixed media paintings. Her timeless seascapes, inspired by the vastness of the ocean and sky, refresh any tranquil beach memories one has. Besides expressing her own sense of awe for nature, Lize enjoys the challenge of capturing the emotions of others in her charcoal/pastel portraits.
