Ada Breedveld is an Amsterdam artist.  Ada is a self- taught artist. She never attended an art academy or anything else of the likes. She has been drawing (all day) and painting ever since she can remember. In a 1959 report from the Christian Domestic Science School, her teacher, miss Lolkema, wrote: “Ada should participate more in the lessons and stop trying to draw during the lessons”. Despite such strong words, Ada continued to draw all day long. SInce childhood, it has been her lifelong aspiration to become an artist. Perseverance paid off, she succeeded! Life itself has been her university.

The main figure in Ada's art is is best described as a 'bon vivant'.
She has a song on her lips, a glass in her hand, there's a bird in the blue sky, she's near the cheerful accordion and the big tuba and this is how her ships go by!
