Loes Van Der Holst, Delft
Member Since December 2014
Artist Statement Loes van der Holst (1956) born in Noordwijk, the Netherlands, choose not to do an official art education. Instead she studied pedagogic and worked with children. She also worked in catering and as a system manager but her artistic side kept nagging. She participated in courses and workshops ranging from art to photography and theatre.
In 1998 she made a definite choice for the arts. She wrote, illustrated and published a children's Christmas story book. She started teaching workshops to children and adults, to stimulate their own exploration of the arts. She was asked to design an award for the most “well known” resident of Delft by a local paper. She has countless exhibitions in the region and has been invited to participate in the 2009 Florence Biennale. Van der Holst won the first Rotterdam Biennal Award 2011 for two of her landscapes.
Her work is truly mixed media and her topics are as diverse as life itself. She loves combining the images which fascinate her, into a poetic story.
