Ada Gons Goosen

Ada Gons Goosen is an independant, active artist specialising in the use of alkyd paints on wood - including  old doors, panels, shutters and the like.. She paints on wood since, as a live medium, it offers additional possibilities to the finished work.
She portrays animals in her own, intimate style. Through a simplification and play of perspective, a tension is created in her compositions. Striking too is the effect created by her extending  the painting onto the panel's frame. A strong sense of humour emanates from many of her paintings.
Her spacious studio is situated in a centuries old farmhouse beside the river Drecht in the picturesque hamlet of Bilderdam, not so very far from Amsterdam.
