Cecilia Maartens-van Vuuren

South African 1956- 

Cecilia Maartens-van Vuuren was born in 1956 in Ermelo, South Africa, and currently resides in Bloemfontein.

Maartens-van Vuuren was informally tutored in visual art practice by Joy Rousseau, artist and former lecturer in Visual Arts at the University of Potchefstroom; Johan Fourie, painting lecturer at Motheo Technical College; Werner Wiid, former Head of the Arts Department at the Bloemfontein College of Education; and attended Marian DeNard's art school. She obtained a Bachelor of Arts from the UNISA in 1981, a Bachelor of Arts Honours in Psychology from the University of the Free State in 2004, and an Advanced University Diploma in Visual Arts from the UNISA in 2011. Maartens-van Vuuren practised artmaking from 1986 until 2010, when she enrolled at UNISA for the Advanced University Diploma in Visual Arts. She completed her Master's degree in Visual Arts at the University of the Free State in 2019.

Her work has found inspiration from nature and explores the relationship between humans and the environment; investigating a sense of belonging and memories.
Maartens-van Vuuren was selected as a finalist in the Sasol New Signatures Art Competition in 2017, 2018 and 2019. In 2019, she was awarded as a merit winner in the competition.
