About Dieuwie

Dieuwie is an Artist with SouthAfricanArtists.com based in South Africa.

I was born in Holland and immigrated to Rhodesia (now known as
Zimbabwe) in 1957. I have always enjoyed art from a very young age and showed an early potential in my school art works,
winning many competitions in my Native Holland. I started my full time
career in 1980. My husband Piet and I set up our own business from our
home



Over the past 32 years I have done more and more wildlife pastels, oils
and watercolors, my paintings receiving wide acclaim wherever I have
exhibited, and I enjoy my field trips with my husband. I have traveled widely
throughout Southern Africa, Namibia, Kenya, Zambia and Botswana.



I have partaken in an exhibition in the Netherlands, which was opened by
Prince Bernard, Patron of the World Wild Life Fund. The exhibition was to raise
funds for the translocation of elephants in south East of Zimbabwe. I have also
exhibited in Zambia raising funds for a child orphanage, and also attended the
Cites Conference exhibition here in Zimbabwe, and has sold many paintings to Art
Galleries in Kenya and Botswana and Zambia as well as in Zimbabwe. Oflate I have moved to take up residence in South Africa in the Eastern Cape and now also paint Land&Sea scapes God willing this will be successful and bring pleasure to many people.She paints now from her lovely home in Port Alfred and has exhibited in East London and attended the 2010 Grahamstown Art Festival.
