Thijs van der Leij

Born in 1963 Nijkerk and raised in Amersfoort. After attending a pedagogical academy, I followed an art education at HKU in Utrecht. With a studio in Hoevelaken and later in Huis ter Heide, I participated in various exhibitions such as in Amsterdam Atelier 408, Exposition de Brink Nijkerk, Kunstroute Nijkerk, Rabobank Utrecht. My work is in private collections including in Uplengen (Du) and Almere.

From my visual work, I also started studying art history and am currently engaged in a PhD research (not yet completed)
