Meeke Mutter - Painter (NTH) (USA)

“When it was impossible to find a dance poster of her liking, she came to the decision to create her own and so began Meeke’s dancers.”

Meeke Mutter is an artist from The Netherlands. She is a painter of abstract figurative dancers: Meeke’s dancers. She works in acrylic and watercolor. She started with abstract painting in 1998.

”I love colors, especially gold, I love elegant lines, fast brushstrokes. Being an artist means being able to focus and knowing you cannot go any other way. This is who you are. Fantastic.”
