20-02-2022 Artist - Joan Schrauwen. February 22 2022

Well known Artist, Joan Schrauwen, has lived on the West Coast for many years, running her own Gallery in Velddrif before exhibiting with Bay Gallery 16 years ago.

Joan has a wonderful empathy for animals and birds which reflect in her exquisite paintings of them. Her flower paintings too are so delicate, often with birds in oil, watercolour or mixed media.

Living beside the Berg River, she has many migratory birds as well as local ones visiting the area, and a family of otters who live nearby.

She has a famous Grandfather, Tinus de Jongh, and Uncle, Gabriel de Jongh, who are both well known for their magnificent landscapes.

Just into her 80’s she still loves to paint and is a wonderful photographer too.

It is truly a pleasure to exhibit Joan’s paintings in Bay Gallery.
