Groningen-based painter, illustrator and author Wim Romijn enjoys international fame as a horse painter. He also paints farm animals and wildlife. His designs and illustrations served to make greetings cards, calendars, posters, embroidery kits, portfolios and giclées.
In the picture books Het Werkpaard (1990), the bestseller Het Boerenpaard (1995), Paardenzot (1999), Van Ploegpaard tot Polopony (2003), the four-volume series Landelijke idylle (2004) and Boerenlanders (2011), Wim paints and describes working with horses, country life of yesteryear and nature around the farm.
Published interviews in newspapers and magazines and for radio and television give a personal picture of the artist in which he talks about his work and his fascinations. Several of his publications have also appeared, many columns in the magazines Hart voor Dieren and Landleven and columns in three studbook magazines and a regional newspaper. His oil paints, acrylic works, watercolours and gouaches have been on display in nine museums.
