Artist Ambassador Laara Rhine

Peace Marker Netherlands

 

I’m a citizen of the Netherlands, of partial Dutch descent, born prior to the outbreak of WW-II. My formative years, however were spent in California which provided both the climate and the unique opportunities for me to freely pursue my artistic interests. The intense contrasts of light and shadow experienced during childhood awakened a deep longing to express through art.  My exploration of a wide variety of artistic disciplines motivated me still further in my search for the ways and means to express both the material as well as the immaterial facets of nature through painting.
