The excitement of a collaboration  on a theme with a fellow artist is one of the peaks in life, (which I have missed so much, since the days when  ArtKaroo was open every day & we did regular group shows!) 

So… I am excited to announce a collab with Chris van Niekerk about those tiny creatures who live alongside us.. I call them “My Beloved Fellow Inhabitants”..

Chris’ meticulously composed organic insect sculptures  will be contrasted against my technicoloured emotional work with a digital feature. All of this in the gorgeous space of the “Te Heerlik” tea tasting venue.

Pamper yourself, book for a tea tasting with Christo ( complete with delicious delicate morsels ), or just pop in to browse the art.

I am really happy that I can now exhibit my work all year round again in Oudtshoorn for all to see, even when I
am travelling, as I so often do! . A wonderful initiative of Hanco Blignaut has brought artists of Oudtshoorn together at
43 Baron van Reede Street in Oudtshoorn in the Karoo Antiques building, where artwork of many genres is
now displayed. Klein Karoo artists like Hanco Blignaut, Francois Tiran, Hermann Niebuhr, Peter Engelbrecht, Lisl Barry,
Nigel Williams, Hilton Jackson. Johan Coetzer, Simone Smit. Yvette Hess, Constance Jonkers and
many others have work on display there, including some great artists from elsewhere. The same space also hosts Red Poppies interior design shop, agelato shop,( the Ice Palazzo), and also Karoo Antiques .

The little gallery started quietly in May 2025.I include some pictures from the soft opening. We plan to do another opening with the advent of the season soon, so watch this space!

Come in and do a virtual tour of the Klein Karoo! It is a wonderful place to browse, children welcome!

Opening times are weekdays 9am to 5pm except Mondays 12am to 5 pm and Saturdays 9am to 2pm. Sundays closed unless otherwise notified.

Leaving European Summer soon for some Winter sunshine in South Africa, yay! (But I will be back!). Giving my art babies some love before I do and I am excited to announce that I have at least launched my work done in the Northern Hemisphere online under the title “Where the Swallows Fly”.
