Theo van der Merwe

I am a Cape Town based creative who is both a primary school art teacher and a practicing artist. I initially studied graphic design but then I found myself being drawn to art and various art making processes so I completed a BA (FA) in 2008. I have been teaching art at a primary school level for about 10 years now. I love art and I love making art and recently I have started exhibiting and selling my artwork, so please do enjoy my work!

I find that I am drawn to making landscapes - both Realist and abstract landscapes. Often my work draws on trying to relate an experience of a landscape - be it in the colour usage or the paint application. I have developed a great love for colour and tactile art making processes and I see each of my works as an exploration thereof.
