Lieke Ritman

"Dutch born (1942), Lieke Ritman's semi-abstracted works are celebrated for their intuitive engagement with 'place'. She moved to St Ives in 1969 and has been inspired by the ever changing patterns and colours of West Cornwall's coastal landscape and sea, by the myriad shapes and patterns of shifting sands and the rhythmic movement of the ocean, simple compositions, textural mark-making and a tranquil palette are the hallmark of her quietly beautiful paintings and prints. Lieke has been a full member of the Penwith Society of Arts since 1969 and continues to inspire with her ever evolving works of art. "
