Hanneke Romeijn was born in 1951 in Overschie and attended primary school and the Montessori Lyceum there. Her hobbies included drawing and riding Icelandic horses in Voorthuizen.

In 1968, she moved to Utrecht to pursue training as a nurse at the former AZU. She worked in this profession for over thirty years. She married her current husband in 1974, and they have two sons and two grandsons.

Drawing and painting run in Hanneke's family. Her grandfather enjoyed drawing along the edges of newspapers, and his youngest brother was the designer of the logo for, among others, the Goudse candles and the Zwaluw matches.

Hanneke took drawing lessons at the Werkschuit in Zeist and attended classes with artist Ad van der Lugt. With him, she learned everything about combining colors.

In 2005, Hanneke went her own way and surrendered herself to fantasy, color, and reality. Cows, horses, donkeys, sheep, and pigs are her favorite animals. She also does not shy away from other subjects. She enjoys painting on commission as well. Everything happens in consultation with the client.

The vacations in the provinces of Groningen and Friesland provide a lot of inspiration. She has met wonderful people who work with old Dutch breeds. Lakenvelders, Groninger Blaarkoppen, Belted Galloways, red-spotted Frisian cows. At Kroon Vlees in Groningen, several works hang, and the delivery van is decorated with a Groninger Blaarkop from my hand.

An article about her has appeared in the magazine de Lakenvelder, and a painting of hers is depicted in the book de Lakenvelder.

Most of her canvases have been sold to private individuals.

Exhibitions she has had:

-Restaurant 't Regthuys in Maarn [three times]; Museum Oud Overschie; Residential and Care Center de Amandelhof in Zeist; Day of the Arts in Zeist; City Estate de Kemphaan in Almere [twice]; Art Market in de Bilt; Nursing Home in Oegstgeest; Diakonessenhuis in Zeist; Hair Salon Kruizinga in Utrecht; Hospice in Zeist; Care Hotel Bovenwegen in Zeist.

Additionally, she participated in the Painting of the Year in 2019. In the catalog, paintings of hers are shown on pages 70 and 71.

She paints with joy and passion; her paintings are colorful. Hanneke wants to recoup her costs for paint, canvas, and frame and see a smile on the faces of her buyers! Visit her website and experience her sense of color.
