HESTER VAN WIJNGAARDEN

Hester van Wijngaarden has worked with the
Osborne Studio Gallery since 2008 and is known
for her three favourite subjects: horses, bulls and
elephants. She works exclusively in oil on canvas.
Her style is principally based on light and form, and
appears both contemporary as well as figurative.
Abstract backgrounds are crucial to her paintings.

Born in the Netherlands, Hester began drawing at
a young age, she then went on to study History of
Art at University. It was during her studies that she
realised the practice of art was what she loved, rather
than its history, and it has now been her profession
for over thirty years.
