HI, MY NAME IS Merel.
SUPPORT
YOUR
ARTIST
FRIEND.
​
What an unprecedented time: everyone is somehow staggered by the COVID-19 virus. The world is upside down for me too; I cannot give painting-workshops at De Kunststudio, the art academy is closed, appointments and planned events have been rescheduled...
But I am an entrepreneur, an artist; someone who will paint even harder and is now even more driven to make beautiful things than usual. I love to color life with my art, because I can cheer myself and others up with it. A splash of colour can make all the difference for your home, mood and your family.
That is how we find ourselves here. I have put together an #ONLINEGALLERY with a selection of my recent artworks, because in this current situation I see turnover disappear due to cancellation of planned art fairs.

ARTWORKS FROM Merel.
The artworks below were all created by Merel Feenstra in Blaricum.
​
PURCHASES | You can purchase the artworks directly online. Because you buy directly from the artist, the prices do not include the fee for the art fair or gallery. This saves you euros and supports the artist in livelihood during this difficult period.
DELIVERY | We deliver by appointment Monday to Saturday. The delivery costs are EUR 0. We deliver within the Gooi / central Netherlands to the front door, outside. We are happy to discuss delivery costs for outside the Gooi / central Netherlands.
The artworks can also be viewed live - by appointment only - at the Kunststudio, Singel 17-i in Blaricum, where we use the 1.5 meter distance rule.

EVENTS MAGAZINE
Meet Merel Feenstra, who decided to change her life as an event manager to listen more to her own voice and regain her creativity as an individual artist.
INTERVIEW
Theater de Meervaart, Amsterdam
What is important for organizing an international conference in Theater de Meervaart? Merel tells her experiences with organizing events, sustainability and what she thinks is typical for Theater "De Meervaart".
HEI EN WEI BLARICUM
My name is Merel and I like to enrich life with color in my art, workshops and events. Besides my work as an artist I work since 2008 as an indepent interim eventmanager (www.interim-eventmanager.nl).
Since 2018 I organize various small-scale creative workshops in: www.dekunststudio.nl together with Mariette Bruinsma from www.jetpaintingaway.nl.
In 2018 I also started studying the part-time Art Academy in Groningen (https://klassiekeacademie.nl). Education there is at HBO level and is given by artists from the top segment of contemporary Dutch realism. Before that I studied two years (2006 and 2017) at the ‘Gooische Academie’ in Laren (https://gooiseacademie.nl).
In all I do I try to see things from different angles so creativity arises. Creativity shows me the way when I make a work of art, but also when I cook, work in our garden, or organize a big business event.
With my paintings / drawings I would like to emphasize the beauty and grandeur of life and with my workshops create creative growth in the lives of others: everything becomes so much nicer if you use a daily dose of paint!
Merel Feenstra, Blaricum 2020.
