Polderland Gallery was founded in 2005 by Dutch artist Marina Broere.
I moved to the US in the year 2000 and decided to open the gallery after moving into a studio in the Arts Building. I found that the space was large enough to combine both painting (my main objective) as well as showing art. The goal is to do two shows a year and a different kind of event during the December month coinciding with the Art Crawl that has been held twice a year at the building.
Besides my work as an artist, I had been a curator for art shows in the town where I lived, and greatly enjoyed the process of hanging shows and working together with other artists.
Art works by itself can be very exciting, but placed in the context of a show a different kind of energy emerges and makes it even more exciting as a whole.
I prefer to show a body of work by one artist to showing a few pieces by a number of artists because I think you get what an artist is about better by seeing more of his work.
