Loura van der Meule lives and works in Jersey City, New Jersey, but she is a native of the Netherlands. She came to New York in the 1980s on a grant from the Dutch Ministry of Culture.
Loura has a bachelor’s degree from the Academy of Visual Arts, “Sint Joost” in Breda, where she studied sculpture. She attended The School for Design and Décor “NIMETO” in Utrecht, the Netherlands.
Her Dutch culture influences her work, but she recently finds inspiration in her immediate surroundings, like the urban landscape. Patterns and textures are reoccurring themes in her work. She works mainly with oil pastel, acrylic paint, and graphite on paper and canvas.
Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in the New York area. It has been collected by museums, corporations, and private collectors in the Netherlands and the United States.
