Frans Wesselman

Born: 1953, The Hague, Holland

Painter and printmaker. Born in the Netherlands. Wesselman trained as an Art teacher at Tilburg teacher training college in 1975 before joining the Dutch army. He moved to England in 1979 where he now lives and works at his studio in Church Stretton, Shropshire. Rembrandt and Picasso are some of his major influences, and there is often a story to be found inside his paintings, etchings and stained glass pieces. His works are housed in private collections as well as in the Ashmolean and Fitzwilliam museums. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers. In July 2016 he demonstrated his printmaking at the Art in Action event in Oxfordshire, UK.
