Jan Roelof Schindler was born on 5th June 1957 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He is the second son of Wil Schindler & Janie van der Moor. Schindler is a self-taught artist and lives near the village of Ransdorp in Waterland. His father was an accomplished (romantic) landscape painter. As a child Jan took a liking to drawing and continued to do so. Years later he met Amsterdam artist Peters Lammers who taught him the technique of etching. The subject matter of his etchings varies, between playful (witches, film characters), traditional (landscapes from his immediate surroundings) or thought provoking (etchings that contain a 'second layer' which go beyond the picture, e.g. 'Catch That Melody', and the 'Nightrider' sequence). The artist uses aquatints to highlight his etchings. He also enjoys painting, and has had exhibitions of his art. He is married to Mariette Groeneveld (who is also an artist) and they have two children, Mario & Julia.
