Trash or treasure? Let’s find out

Inspired by nature

Manon Potgieter of Gqeberha writes I’d like to find out more about these two pieces by Frederike Stokhuyzen (each canvas is about 15 x 12cm). Can you tell me what they might be worth? Kayleen Wrigley of Walker Scott Art

Advisory replies Frederike Stokhuyzen is a prolific painter of still lifes and landscapes, finding her dominant inspiration in the beauty of nature.

Born in Johannesburg to Dutch parents, Stokhuyzen began her formal training at Rhodes University before going on to train at The Central School of Art in London. There she focused on the medium of stained-glass windows. Her mastery of this medium has lent a certain drama to her painting practice.

Stokhuyzen has held many group and solo exhibitions both in South Africa and abroad, and she is represented by The Cape Gallery locally. However, her resale market has not yet gained much traction.
