Josien Broeren the Dutch Artist

Josien Broeren was born on the 27th of February 1956 in Den Dungen, the Netherlands. After obtaining her High school diploma she went to a hairdressing school. Besides cutting hair, she was busy painting. Karel Appel (a well known Dutch painter and coincidently also a former hairdresser) was her mentor and role model.

Marion of Holland who sent me this card says about Josien Broeren, that, she has developed her own style and uses pop-art like colours. The motto on this painting means, “He whom the divine gift of passion owns, grows older but never old”. How true.
