Peter Ursem
painter, printmaker, poet

Dutch artist Peter Ursem studied Comparative Literature at the University of Utrecht and Painting, Drawing and Printmaking at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in The Hague. Having landed in Dorset in 1998 Peter developed relief printmaking (linoprint, woodcut, woodengraving) alongside his painting. He likes words and in some of his work explores letters, words and meaning as a visual medium. Peter holds regular exhibitions of his work, and gives masterclasses and workshops in relief printmaking techniques.
