Hildegarde Bone

Hildegarde Lampers Bone
Born in Holland and moved to South Africa at the age of 12 with my family. Attended art school in Durban S.A. After I got married my husband and myself moved to England. 
I have been painting and drawing as long as I can remember. I've allways been passionate about animals and nature and many of my paintings reflect this.
I've worked in advertising and for childrens book publishers. My illustrated children's books have been published. In addition I also paint personalised Menu boards for the American Airforce stationed in Frankfurt, Germany. I now reside in Kent and paint and draw from my converted loft studio which has inspirational views accross the Swale with the Isle of Sheppey in the background. 
I have exhibited my work at various galleries including The Mall Galaries, London, The Llewellyn Alexander Galleries in London, The Horse Bridge in Whitstable etc
I am a full member of S.O.F.A. (Society of Feline Artists) and the Faversham Art Society.
My Giclee prints will be on show at the Horse Bridge from the 30th March until the 5th April 2019.
