About Me

Leo Cappel visual artist author: My earliest memory is of my grandmother teaching me how to say cigar in Dutch ('sigaar', I was born in Amsterdam). Words intrigued me then, and have done so ever since. Words, sounds and patterns - read: writing, music and sculpting/painting. During the war I had to hide with a family in Friesland. The adults spoke Dutch as well, the few kids I befriended spoke nothing but Friesian. After the war the Red Cross sent me to Switzerland, to live with an elderly couple who spoke only Swiss-German. The Dutch word Papa became Heit in Friesian, Vater in Switzerland. Later still, when I was an art student in Paris, it was Père and now it's Dad. How could I not be fascinated? I am a graduate of the Rietveld Art Academy, Amsterdam. I worked as an art teacher, as trapeze artist, as industrial designer and as scuba diving instructor before emigrating to New Zealand.
