“To me, the essence of art is in seeing. With my eyes, I see the beauty of colours, textures, and shapes in nature and I replicate this in paint and ink onto my surface. With my heart, I see deeper – and this, too, I blend into my work.

My hope is that you would see my art with your eyes and that it would speak to your heart.” – Hermien van der Merwe –
