ABOUT THE ARTIST

Delene Lambert is a self-taught artist specializing in wildlife art. After getting married to Tom Lambert, a farmer in the Featherstone district of Chivhu, Zimbabwe it was very isolated on the farm and she needed to do something. Her mother had taken art lessons with a lady living close by and invited her to join. It was a magical lesson and although the first paintings were pretty dreadful she loved it and from that moment was hooked. The farm was part of a conservancy so she had many opportunities to observe the animals in their natural habitat. 
In 2002 political upheaval in Zimbabwe prevailed and she, her husband and two small children were given 24 hours to leave with only what could be packed on one of the farm trucks. Having been stripped of home and income art was a form of escape and was able to sell her paintings to keep their heads above water. They moved to Harare Zimbabwe where Tom opened a borehole and pump business and she had her first exhibition. They then moved to South Africa and haven't looked back. 

Delene spends many hours at waterholes taking photographs to work from and her preferred medium is oil on canvas. She is a listed artist in 'Artists of the Waterberg' directory, has been the subject of several magazine and newspaper articles and has had successful exhibitions. She has been commissioned to do the paintings for Lephalale municipal offices and the Anglo-American game lodges. Her paintings are sold worldwide.

Hierdie kunstenaar het opgegroei in Phillippolis in die Suid-Vrystaat. Haar noue interaksie met die platteland en die natuur het haar vermoë om te opserweer en weer te gee met verfkwas of palet gevorm. Sy skilder voltyds vanaf 2009 en eksperimenteer met olie en so n los impressionisties realistiese styl ontwikkel. Die essensie van haar werke is die atmosfeer wat sy skep met kleur en kwasmerke of met palet, veral met die klem op wolke.

Nunkies Kuns
Anna-Maré Buys skilder onder die naam Nunkies ( noemnaam deur haar Griekwa kinderoppasser) die meer kontemporêre werk.
Sy skilder hoofsaaklik figure wat emosie uitbeeld in helder kontrasterende kleure met baie tekstuur. Haar inspirasie kom van haar laaste skilderstuk. Sy glo daar is nooit n laaste eindpunt in skilder nie, maar n deurlopende reis met aanhoudende vernuwing en kontemporêre skilderkuns verleen haar daartoe.

ABOUT THE ARTIST :

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
