Carina Kroeze – Artist and art gallery in Ootmarsum

Welcome to my creative world. I'm a professional artist with a deep love for making paintings, portraits and sculptures. You can see – and buy – my work in my art gallery in Ootmarsum, in the heart of Twente in the east of the Netherlands.

Style

Drawing and painting have filled my life ever since I was a toddler. Through my work I hope to touch others and share the way I see the world. I paint intuitively and leave room for the unexpected. My style is loose and expressive, and it's the imperfections that give a painting its character. Just like in life, not everything needs neat outlines.

Inspiration

I find my inspiration in people, in nature and in everyday moments. From colourful birds and flowers to cityscapes and portraits: every painting tells its own story. Feel free to browse the shop for available work, or take a look at my full portfolio.

My paintings are on display in my gallery at Schiltstraat 2A in Ootmarsum. The gallery is open Friday to Sunday from 1 pm to 5 pm. Do drop by and see the work in real life. Visiting from abroad? Ootmarsum is only a few kilometres from the German border, and you're also welcome by appointment.
