Welcome!

I’m Gerrie Mathijssen.


Every drawing and painting you’ll see here begins with one thing: a connection. Like that curious cow leaning in as if to give you a kiss, or a bird locking eyes with you – it’s in those brief, intimate moments that an animal reveals itself. And that’s what I try to capture with oil paint and pencil.

 

My work comes in all sizes, from the delicate Les Petits to the bold Les Grands. I also offer museum-quality giclée prints, and I create custom portraits for anyone wanting to honor a special animal.

 

Feel free to explore at your own pace. And if a piece catches your eye – or your heart – don’t hesitate to reach out.
