Wim Schimmer is originally from Rotterdam, Holland in the Netherlands. As a young man he and all the men between 14-40 were rounded up by German soldiers and moved to work encampments during World War II. Once the war ended he was reunited with his family and later attended art school where he met his first wife, an American citizen.
Mr. Schimmer started off in Kansas City but found his true home when they moved to NYC where he worked as a commercial artist in the Empire State Building.
Eventually, through a friend, Wim and his wife Olga found their way to Steep Falls, ME where they live, paint, dance, listen to opera, and enjoy life. FMI regarding Wim's art, click here.
