About the Artist

Marieke Uijterschout was born in 1980 in the Netherlands but currently resides in Vienna with her spouse and three children, ages 12, 9 and 5.  Marieke has lived in many places around the world, including conflict-ridden Jerusalem, post-revolutionary Tunisia, Canada and the USA and largely owes her creative curiosity to the nomadic lifestyle she and her family experience as a diplomatic family.  Her artistic interest and development started as young as 5 years old and has guided her throughout a life filled with change, adventure and discovery. She aspires to continue a life of creative output, breaking norms and mixing different mediums and classically taught methods of visual arts to create an individual and highly personal view of the relationship between the artist and her work.
