ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In Afrikaans we have a saying ‘mooi van lelikheid’ which is loosely translated as ‘so ugly it’s pretty’. These beautiful birds are true icons of one of my favorite places - Kruger National Park, South Africa. Their current conservation status is vulnerable and I hope I have done him justice in my rendition.

My husband was offered a position in Qatar and for the first time in my adult life I do not have a full time job. As a child I loved sketching and while packing up my belongings in South Africa for the big move I came across a folder of old sketches that I had done in my teenage years. Coming from the commercial painting industry and having worked with architects, designers and colour throughout my career I thought that I might keep myself busy with a bit of sketching once I got to Qatar. Then the pandemic that has shut down the world turned a bit of sketching into a full-out sketching frenzy and the more I sketched the more I enjoyed it, I started adding colors and then mediums that I had never used before and before long my ‘bit of sketching’ turned into a passion. I have no formal training and work by my feeling for the subject I am immortalising. I LOVE nature and it’s magnificent creatures and if I had to ‘do it all again’ I strongly suspect that I would have chosen being a nature conservationist.
