Autorenporträt
After finishing secondary school, Hanneke Boot felt an increasing need to develop her drawing and writing skills and to give expression through drawing and writing to what was going on inside her. Unfortunately, she discovered that a muscle disease leading to physical disability meant that she was unable to satisfy the requirements of an academy of art and to complete the number of works she would have had to create there. As an alternative, she followed a correspondence course in drawing, finishing with a diploma in drawing. In addition, she attended various painting courses and workshops in order to learn the technique of mouth painting. Though all these teaching lessons, courses and training activities, Hanneke Boot has acquired a wide range of techniques. This allowed her to attend a course in far-eastern water color techniques and a correspondence course in psychology. She hopes to be able to apply this knowledge creatively to drawing, painting and writing.
