Dreaming in Play

2023-11-26

This sculpture has been inspired by my deep contemplation of human emotions and our connection to the natural world. This inspiration grew stronger when my husband was diagnosed with metastatic melanoma. In our fast paced society, we often suppress our emotions due to various pressures. However, unadulterated play is crucial for our emotional heath and […]

It is such an honour to have this bronze King Protea used as a trophy at the Medi-Safe Surgical ceremony.

Lockdown Flock

2020-09-14

Spring has sprung! Who would’ve thought that the year 2020 would unfold in the way that it has! Art can be like that too, unpredictable! Sometimes an artwork has a life of its own and I, as the artist am just the mechanism enabling the creation to appear – as if by magic. Other times […]

Tenacity and Vulnerability

2019-03-19

As I stare at the outreaching leaves and dried twisted roots of the tiny aloe clipped to my studio board, I gasp in the amazement of it’s tenacity. This little plant can survive pulled out of the ground for days, even weeks, idealistically aided by the energy filling my studio, my music of mood and […]

I found out about this magical exhibition whilst browsing on Instagram. It resonated immediately and I had to put word out to my travelling friends!!! Thank you Fabienne and Jet for coming to my rescue!! Not only did they get me the cards but they also flew them over personally and posted them from New […]

Why paint plants?

2017-03-08

Since moving to Rooiels a year ago I have been surrounded by the most incredible energy of nature. My curiosity has been stimulated by the rich and diverse plant life all around me. I started painting the plants that magnetized me the most. I did this with love and care whilst bringing in the element […]

Up-cycling – gift bags

2015-07-02

I am often told that the placemats are too precious & beautiful to use. I have even heard of some people laminating the placemats – for keep’s sake’s! I’m quite honoured by this. There is an alternative: for every 10 used placemats (hopefully with many happy memories) returned to me, you will receive a free […]

Bags of Art

2015-06-29

To create “Bags Of Art” has been one of my life-long dreams. I wanted to print my scanned art onto leather, fabric or anything I could imagine and use this to make functional and long lasting handbags. Using my art creatively on these planned bags was key! Little did I imagine that ultimately I would […]

Inspiration

2013-09-15

How does one get inspired? Often in unexpected ways, as in my case experiencing AfricaBurn. Is inspiration enough? Probably not I would say. It needs to be fueled! In this case the fuel was the kindness and caring of Greg & Nat’s. Greg in his ever mad and spontaneous way invited Antje and me to […]

AfrikaBurn Architypes

2013-07-05

So…. AfrikaBurn has come and gone but the inspiration burns!!! Our wings made of wire and recycled “stuff” flew us happily into Tankwa Town where we spent three inspiring days and nights. It’s as if you are living in a dream. Wait for the paintings that are about to explode out of me ….!

AfrikaBurn

2013-07-02

All artists, free spirits and other people in need of magic memories, need to visit AfrikaBurn. Many a year ago, living in Canada, Burning Man was all the rage in the Nevada desert. I never made it there. The theme last year was “Mirage”. My 75yr old adventurous father with his desert equipped Land cruiser, […]
