Exhibition Lia Steenbergen-Baas

In 1976, Lia received a Kodak Instamatic camera for her 13th birthday and began taking vacation photos. Photography whetted her appetite for more, and in 1982 she purchased an analog camera with many more features. From that moment on, she also began to specialize. Animals were her preference, but she also enjoyed nature and landscapes. At the end of 2003, she bought a digital camera and began to pay more and more attention to details.

A few years ago, she had a performance review with a former team leader and invited him to her home. Photo albums were laid out in the living room. He was very impressed and said that she should show her photography to many more people. At the time, that seemed like a distant dream, but it did give her the push she needed.

Over the years, she has taken many courses and workshops. In March 2022, Lia became a member of the Fotoclub Passewaaij, which is currently being established.

When she turned 60, the idea arose to link her first exhibition to this at the Synagogue Art Gallery in Buren, entitled: "Photography as a common thread...."

In 2024, she exhibited at the Vrijthof Nursing Home in Tiel with "Animals in the Spotlight."
And recently, she exhibited with two other artists at the Sint Lambertuskerk in Kerk-Avezaath with "Take a Closer Look." An exhibition is also planned for 2026 in Millingen.

The photo exhibition in the town hall is a combination of detail and animal photos.

You are most welcome

The exhibition by Lia Steenbergen-Baas can be viewed until December 2025 in the town hall of West Maas en Waal, Dijkstraat 11 in Beneden-Leeuwen.

Visitors are welcome during town hall opening hours.
