Painter Dinie Boogaart each time undergoes the creation of her oil paintings as an adventure.

Her preference is for painting people. Portraits and nudes. Dinie Boogaart (45) is a tad hesitant in admitting this. She dislikes her work being thus pigeonholed. For over the past several years she has also built a reputation with her – mostly Frisian – spacious landscapes as well as her still lifes. Her intriguing figurative and monumental work (‘I love big canvases’) is popular, regionally but also nationally. Both among private collectors and companies. Thus she has painted thirteen beach views for the interior of the luxury cruise ship, the Queen Mary II.
