Born in Ireland and surrounded by Music and Art; Saskia Vermeer grew up in the Netherlands and started traveling on her 25th.
She has been at quite some places all around the Caribbean.Since 10 years living and loving the Island Bonaire. Finally starting to write her second book; Wind, Water and Waves on Bonaire. By starting each chapter with a painting of a minimized view of Bonaire with a positive vibe.
The Delfins Resort and Jibe City Windsurf school are decorated by original paintings from Saskia and also at the front desk, there are travel-size paintings for sale. In small / take away tubes or with wooden frame.
Making paintings has always been one of my passions. Starting with small water color paintings of real-life objects I got a deeper understanding of the environment. In 2016 I decided to go ‘big and wild’ and catch the Caribbean vibes in minimalistic forms. I make my paintings when I’m inspired, that can also be on request at location, house or garden.

Wall Paintings
Every building, room or wall has its own character, its special purpose or its own story to tell. I can help you to find this special story and emphasize it in wall art. Remember that in ancient times the Romans and Inca’s new how to bring special moods in their houses by painting artefact of nature on their walls. In the Caribbean the outside of a building is often decorated by a smashing colorful sign that tells you what’s going on in the neighborhood or in the building. Off course I only can create wall art on assignment.
Driftwood signs on assignment
In the Caribbean you can find signs made of driftwood everywhere. I like to make these signs with their natural loose style. The beauty of it is that the always come in a unique ‘one of a kind’ product….. I like to make my signs with the characteristics and colors of that reflect purpose and goal the owner.
