Artist from West Kelowna, Canada
8 artworks by Olaf in Canada. Last artwork was added more than one year ago.
Hello, I’m Olaf Dijkstra, originally from the Netherlands, but since 2011 a Permanent Resident of Canada. In 2000, I visited Canada for the first time and it was love at first sight. Six years later I started my application process and moved with my family in 2011. You can say it was a ‘calling of the wild’ for me.

My hometown is West Kelowna
