Irma Roskam, an artist like no other, whose penstroke once has been compared as a melting of Rembrandt and Matisse. She has a use of colour that only a few artists can equal and an eye for detail that reminds of her past as a professional photographer. In just a few brush strokes she displays a unique realism and when the canvas is dry, the spectator is stunned in disbelief by her creations. Her latest paintings reflect her new country, the Australian outback of North New South Wales. Through her spirituality she is able to combine nature and aboriginal culture like no other.
Since 1996 she and her husband Jaap now live on a paradise like estate near the subtropic rainforest of Mount Warning National Park. From their home they have a spectacular view over the ancient crater of this long extinct Vulcano. Jaap and Irma prepared a lovely chalet for friends, family and tourists, so if you wish... mail them and make them reserve your stay in one of the most beautiful places in the world. This is a guest house you're sure never to forget your entire life, wishing you'll be there again, listining to the unique Australian birds, sitting under the Australian sun, right in the middle of nowhere, and still feel very comfortable with it. Don't hesitate... their prices for this stay isn't that much, and you will be able to watch Irma paint, and see Jaap make his pictures of the wildlife.
Ze weet met slechts enkele penseel streken een ongekend realisme op het doek te toveren en als het doek is uitgewerkt blijft elke beschouwer in eindeloze bewondering geboeid door haar scheppingen. In 1996 emigreerde ze met haar man Jaap naar Australia. Daar bewonen ze nu een uniek stuk regenwoud: ruim 42 hectare puur natuur temidden van 1000'en hectares national park. Voorwaar een schitterende combinatie van kunstenaresse en natuur. Bezoek haar website en maak een afspraak om te komen verblijven op dat practige plekje. Ze hebben een zeer fraaie en betaalbare gasten accomodatie gereed en zo kunt U naast de bijzondere natuur van Noord NSW ook leren hoe Irma haar penselen hanteert. www.irmart.com.au
