About The Artist
Born in Melbourne in 1956 of Dutch parents, Herman was seventeen when he held his first solo exhibition in Melbourne: it was a sell-out success. In 1982 he began studying for his Fine Arts degree at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. Today Herman is a multi-awarded painter: a three-time winner of the coveted Camberwell Gold Metal art prize and a winner of the prestigious Alice Bale Award in 1989 and 1993. His works are featured in several books including: Australian Impressionist and Realist Artists, compiled by Tom Roberts; 120 Years of Watercolour by the Australian realist artists; Artists and Galleries of Australia and New Zealand by Max Germaine, and Profile on Contemporary Watercolours.
