About Us

Tess Verheij lived for 31 years in Holland before arriving in London and founding the ARTTES 4 KIDS workshop and gallery as a venue where she could help children (and adults) to develop and extend their creativity.

As well as a qualified and experienced art teacher working with acrylics, oils, pastels, murals, furniture, signs, and portraits, she is a successful artist in her own right, with a permanent exhibition in Holland.

Prints, cards and original artworks from Tess's portfolio are available from the gallery.

She has recently been engaged by Office Estates Ltd to work on an 110 foot mural that will illustrate how the rich cultural and historical heritage of Merton Abbey Mills informs its exciting present and future. Tess is always interested in discussing new commissions.
