Bernadette Sterk

Dutch artist Bernadette Sterk is self-taught in painting and employs the Princeton catalyst as a tool, bringing spectacular development to her technical skills. Sterk has no intention to portray the models, instead she interested in creating images that express her deeper emotions.

Her favorite quote is by Oscar Wilde: ‘Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not the sitter’.

Sterk is inspired by all kinds of artworks, sometimes it could be just a stroke of color or texture, or lyrics in songs and books. Her artwork is acrylic on professional linen on aluminum frames.

She is a full-time professional artist, represented by several Dutch galleries and abroad by two online-galleries.

She currently lives in Utrecht, The Netherlands.
