Since 1975 she has lived and worked in Emst (Municipality of Epe). Initially she practiced various art forms. She took several courses in which she explored the technical possibilities of various artistic mediums. After finishing training in Expressive Creativity, Pita focused on painting and etching. Since 1980 she has devoted all of her energy to the technique of oil painting. She has applied a
ll the knowledge she gained into her still lifes and developed herself into a realistic painter. Her work shows a clear preference for still life paintings, executed in oil on canvas or panel. The realistic still lifes stand out thanks to the extreme precision with which objects are painted. In a subtle play of light and shadow, form and color, she lets reality pass and turns it into a visible silence. By constantly aiming to elevate the accuracy of the object depiction above the precise observation, she shows her perception of reality. Expression of textures, detail and subtle play of light and shadow, form and color are characteristics of her work. Following traditional methods, her paintings are constructed from thin layers of paint. Despite the fact that she usually paints on multiple canvases simultaneously her production is limited. Her work, which has received national and international recognition, is held by individuals, businesses and municipalities both nationally and internationally. Besides her own work, she works on commission, if desired using objects provided by the client as a subject.

Pita Vreugdenhil, schilder van realistische stillevens. In een subtiel spel van licht en schaduw, vorm en kleur, laat zij de realiteit overgaan in een zichtbare stilte. Ik werk al bijna 30 jaar als beeldend kunstenaar. Mijn specialiteit is het schilderen van realistische stillevens, uitgevoerd in olieverf op linnen of paneel. Ook werk ik in opdracht. Door er voortdurend naar te streven de weergave van de onderwerpen boven de exacte waarneming uit te laten stijgen toon ik mijn beleving van de werkelijkheid. Stofuitdrukking, detaillering en een subtiel spel van licht en schaduw, vorm en kleur zijn kenmerkend voor mijn stillevens. Veel van mijn werk is in het bezit van particulieren, bedrijven en gemeentes. Ik heb zowel in binnen als buitenland geëxposeerd.
