ABOUT THE ARTIST :
Riki Louw, a mother of three and grandmother of three (soon
to be four), initially thought creating vapourware on computers to be her only
talent.
As a Business Intelligence Architect, providing solutions
to organisations by which they could analyse their information, she had little
time to left to explore any other talents. Apart from the normal talents
bestowed on moms, raising her kids, cooking, knitting, crocheting, beading, organising
parties and when time allows, reading any book she can lie her hands on, her
work was her main hobby.
Then came her 50th birthday.
Asked by her kids, what she wanted for her birthday; as
long as it has nothing to do with technology; she thought, how about some paint
to paint the house. Being innovative they bought her some oils, brushes and
canvas. Horrified she told them that she does not have the talent to paint,
they just reckoned that she have not tried it yet. Well, as she has always been
up for a challenge, she did… And enjoyed it ever since….
In between work projects, as she is still working fulltime,
she now paints when she gets the time. And believes that one day, when she is a
big girl, not working any more, she will get some training.
In the mean time she just enjoys creating something that
she can touch….
