Hanneke van Ryswyk is a Welsh Dutch visual artist living in County Wexford, Ireland.

Hanneke's ongoing body of work in painting explores the natural world, its vulnerability, its beauty and the effects of extreme weather on land and sea. She paints imagined lands and seas, with an abstracted aesthetic and sensitivity. The artist works in a series of layers responding to each as they evolve, her process is intuitive and considered. Van Ryswyk depicts the displacement of land, rising waters, storms, coastal erosion, disappearing islands and melting glaciers due to human activity. Living on the Irish coast allows her to witness first hand the effects and vulnerabilities climate change is having on our coastline.

Hanneke made a video a few year ago about her process which you can watch here:
