About The Artwork
A penguin swims happily, blissfully unaware of dangers lurking. The penguin plays the role of the fool or court jester, enjoying the sweetness of the present moment. The hints of nets are references to what threatens to entrap the ocean's creatures. (Dumped fishing gear accounts for the biggest plastic pollution in the ocean.) The sharks teeth are illustrated from my own collection of fossilized shark's teeth. The seals and sharks need to prey on the penguin (among other creatures), to survive. Sometimes to find our soulskin we must lose aspects of ourselves. The reference: "Sealskin, Soulskin," is from the book Running with Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes.

South Africa
Ann is a vibrant and prolific artist, wildlife photographer, and author. She was voted in 2020 as one of South Africa's top artists. She initially became known for her ‘ewe/sheep’ series of work. Whilst maintaining her ironic humor she has painted a number of other series of works, including ‘Wild Life’ ‘Zulu Lulu’ and 'Going to the Dogs series. A recurring theme in her work is a play on words and the use of popular jargon. Her quirky, humorous, yet profoundly insightful art, allows the viewer not only to laugh at themselves but to examine many of the absurd aspects of life.
