Hans Van Weerd

I am a Melbourne-based contemporary visual artist. I sketch, I draw and I paint. I am fascinated by people and what makes them the individual persons they are, but I am equally eager to depict the natural and the man-made world. I am a signatory member of the Victorian Artists' Society and a member of the Hawthorn Artist Society and the Hobsons Bay Artist Society, all in Melbourne.
