My name is Douwine Rienstra and I create with heart and soul.
I have a tremendous drive to make and create. I prefer to work at a fast pace, but I do try to take a moment to pause every now and then.
The human gaze, visible emotions, or indeed that which is unspoken yet felt, fascinates me.
My work is expressive and colourful. I enjoy using multiple techniques and materials simultaneously.
As well as creating art, I am a qualified teacher and give art lessons and workshops to children and adults, both from my own studio and on location.
