About Saskia

Dutch born Saskia Smith lives in picturesque Marlborough, New Zealand.

In 2001 Saskia took up oil painting as a hobby – a creative outlet. As it transpires, she hasn't been the only one who appreciates her hobby. Her paintings immediately began to capture people's attention. Saskia's paintings now hang in various homes around New Zealand – and abroad.

Oil on canvas is her preferred medium, using both brush and pallet knife. Painting mainly landscapes and floral arrangements, bright colour and depth characterise Saskia's impressionist work. People regularly comment that her depictions capture 'a feeling' – a happy feeling at that! Not surprising as extensive travel, music and a love of life need to be expressed.

Saskia hopes that her work on canvas will continue to delight and encourage friends and acquaintances for many years to come….
