Pieter van der Westhuizen – Leonard Schneider

Pieter van der Westhuizen is synonymous with Philadelphia… As one of South Africa’s most popular artists, he enjoys an international reputation for his etchings, paintings and pastell-works. He was a resident of Philadelphia for 24 years and therefore we cherish his memory.

We are fortunate to be able to offer more than 200 original etchings to the public at the Pieter van der Westhuizen Art Gallery. Visitors can also browse and relax in the gallery and memorial area where you can see a part of Pieter van der Westhuizen’s studio and his favourite chair and other personal belongings.
