JANNY MEYER
B. 1938. Netherlands

Janny Meyer was born on the 25th July 1938 in Andijk, a small village in the Netherlands.

She spent her childhood on her family farm, an inspiration featured in much of her work. Since then her paintings have evolved from the sketches she drew of the chickens and ducks on her parent’s farm.

During frequent visits to Paris Janny introduced detailed city views into her portfolio. These colourful detailed paintings capture those aspects, which are now but fading memories of a bygone era. The topographical scenes include period transport such as cars, trams and buses.

It was later in life that she received painting tuition from Jan Visser and H.F Boot, two renowned artists from Haarlem, Holland.

Janny Meyer has become a very successful artist, with galleries throughout Europe exhibiting her work.

The Colomb Art Gallery currently has a number of original oil paintings by Janny Meyer
