Frans Aeyelts - Biography
Frans was born in the Netherlands
where he received his formal education. He first studied graphic design,
followed by industrial printing techniques and management. It was the
fine arts which captured his imagination in the end, allowing him to express
himself without restriction.
His other interest was the ocean which led to employment with Fisheries
and Oceans in Nova Scotia. This offered another opportunity to study various
aspects of offshore sailing. Eventually he did sail his own home-built
boat to the West Indies.
Frans returned to drawing and painting however, and gradually took on
a teaching role. Classes are offered in drawing and watercolour techniques
at the Lincoln Street Gallery. Other art related endeavours include conducting
workshops and commission work (house, garden and boat portraits).
