T’Kay Artist Biography
Tel: 081 465 4009
Artist Name: T’Kay
Real Name: Theuns Koekemoer
Birth date: 7 January 1970.


I started of many years ago doing solely pencil sketching which included graphite, charcoal as well as coloured pencil.
Four years ago I decided to take up the brush and started off with oil paintings. My fine eye for detail has come into play into the oil paintings which I adopted with the years of experience with sketching in fine detail.  I have a distinctive eye for colour use and tend to mix my colours to as close as possible to similarly that of the subject matt
Subject matters include but are not limited to wildlife, landscapes, seascapes, portraiture, figurative and still life, with an exceptionally great love towards figurative, nature and wildlife studies.
The oil paints I use is Winsor and Newton and Daler Rowney range of paints.
I do not strive to become a super realist artist, but my end product must be realistically good enough.   I still want my admirers to realise the painting is still a painting. Many hours of fine detail goes into my work until I am satisfied with the end product.  People have started to know me by my distinctive style which I developed on my own, which is unique to me and not at all adopted from any other artist.  I have learnt with trial by error until I have reached a point until where I am satisfied with my work, knowing that my clients will also then be satisfied when they buy an original “T’Kay” which would definitely be an investment to the owner.
Selling points have been via internet, a successful group exhibition, a couple of craft markets as well as through a couple of galleries.  I have already sold numerous local artworks as well as overseas to New-Zealand, Netherlands, UK and USA.
The artist name “T’Kay” is derived from when phonetically speaking out my initials, under which I have already established a name in the artist market. I guess the name “Kay” gives an eerie glow to my name, as Sir Kay was one of the Knights of the Round Table.

ANNETTE BRUNO ABBOTT















PAINTHING DONE BY THE BRILLIANT SOUTH AFRICAN ARTIST ANNETTE BRUNO ABBOTT.


ABOUT THE ARTIST

My name is Annette Abbott. I was born in Pretoria, lived in Dullstroom for 22 years, from where my love for nature and photography originated. I am currently living in Heidelberg (Gauteng), South Africa. I am a part-time artist and I am in full-time evangelistic ministry with my husband. Therefore many of my paintings have a prophetic message.
I’ve taken up art classes two and a half years ago, when I started painting and are still experimenting with new techniques. My main medium is oil on canvas.
I love to paint landscapes and animals, although I almost paint any theme or picture. I love to take my own photographs, from where my paintings originate from. I also take on challenges, and have done a couple of commissions.
Some of my paintings have traveled abroad, as far as Canada AND the Netherlands
