'''Thierry Veltman''' ([[Bussum]], [[December 16]], [[1939]]) is a [[Netherlands|Dutch]] [[painter]], [[sculpture|sculptor]], [[ceramics (art)|ceramist]] and [[art]] [[educator]].
Veltman won his first art prize at the age of 12, at an international exhibition of children's drawings in [[Brazil]]. In 1958, when he was 19, he exhibited his own interpretations of the [[Suriname]] [[rainforest]]. He went on to study at the Rietveld Art Academy of [[Amsterdam]]. From the early 1960s Veltman exhibited extensively at art galleries in the Netherlands and sometimes beyond.
Veltman uses many drawing and painting techniques, often in mixtures. He is also active in sculpting, ceramics and art research. He is still influenced by spending some of his youth in [[South America]].<ref>[http://www.galerievermeulen.nl/nieuws/veltman/veltmanolder.html Thierry Veltman: Werken op papier, gemengde technieken en objecten] ([[Dutch]]: Thierry Veltman: Works on paper, mixed techniques and objects). Gallerie Vermeulen, [[Etten-Leur]], Netherlands.</ref>
Living in [[Dordrecht]], he taught many students painting and drawing, both locally and at Ichthus College in [[Rotterdam]]. At Ichthus he established the department of Art and Communication. Veltman is the author of the art education book "Individuality and drawing" (1978; in Dutch).
