Born 1930 - Amsterdam, Holland

Growing up in Amsterdam, following his years as a scholar, Ted Hoefsloot went on study art at the Amsterdamse Grafische School where he majored in lithography, layout, advance drawing and silk screening.

A short while after completing his studies, he decided to visit South Africa – for a five year artistic tour of its vast, complex and varying landscapes. Travelling through the country on the back of a motorcycle over this period, Ted was so inspired and overwhelmed by South Africa’s natural beauty – the vast spaces, majestic mountain ranges, the bushveld and the wildlife – that 53 years later he still finds himself calling South Africa home.

Working in both acrylic and oil on canvass, Ted paints with respect, affection and a warm, in-depth understanding of South Africa’s mountains, bushveld and wildlife. He takes a realistic approach to whatever he creates.

Ted has exhibited all around South Africa since 1965, turning full-time professional artist from 1979. His work has appeared locally on the morning TV show Good Morning South Africa.
