        Side View of the building Facade


As I write this blog, right now it is being remodeled into an Artist hub that would comprise Artist Studio spaces, Art galleries and everything Art wise. 



                                  Bare walls for Artist to Install their Art

The actual space for this years exhibition is also under remodeling and construction how cool is that and this space will be occupied by the Joburg fringe for the next 4 days.



                                       Clearing my wall space at the Fringe Venue



It is under construction and remodeling so the walls are bare and you can see the old bones of the building and the Industrial appeal is so in your face... it is beautiful.


live Art, graffiti going on in the venue exciting!



 Though a bit daunting when it comes to installing our work,I know we are all excited about the venue and the space, so that thought is so secondary to us all right now, as we brave  all the remodeling going on and install Art.....

Natural light plays a huge part in my home, as light helps to project my Art giving my living room a gallery feel.

Expressionist Abstract Art of Women  Drawing women and their expressions is something, I am truly interested in. Female profiles and faces in abstract is intriguing and Ink drawings, are a way for me to throw that notion out there, of a female portrait created differently.  This is something that is important to me as a woman artist, this matters.                                                                                                                  I draw faces in a way that is uncomplicated  and easy to read, in a rather caricature way though not comical, with ink, it is easy to let the colors flow so that they create for me, the facial contours and structure.  My emp...

The life of the artist is simple yet complicated with ideas on how everything from food, clothing, lifestyle, music, how kids are raised, environment and social issues should be interpreted.  Most artists express these views through various forms of visual and fine art and it is left for interpretation by the viewer or people in general who view this art and are sometimes confused about the Artists true genuine intentions and reasoning.  Most artist if not all have experienced this confusion from the audience, gallery owners, collectors, sponsors, and family.  My experience with most galleries, I ...
