Thuline De Cock

Thuline was born in Bruges (Belgium) and finished her studies in Interior Architecture in 1993. After a 3-year break, during which she worked as an educational assistant in an immigration centre, travelled to the states, Ghana and several countries in Europe.
In 1995 she had a holiday romance in the mountains of Andalusia, which was the reason she moved to Kendal.

It’s funny how originally a city girl like myself, ends up painting cows….
I’m sure moving to the Lake District had a lot to do with this. I find inspiration on our many walks and cycles. We always have a camera handy.
I just love painting animals. This was the first cow I photographed on Coniston Old Man in 1996, she was trying to lick itself. Really enjoyed painting her, so I tried a few more. It all grew from there.

1988- 1993 Hoger Architectuur Instituut Sint-Lucas, Zwarte Zusterstraat 34, 9000 Gent.
Degree in Interior Design.
1993- 1995 Hoger Architectuur Instituut Sint-Lucas,

As I have my own gallery in Windermere, I don't exhibit as much anymore in other places.
