Camera lenses and paintbrushes come together for charity

The Ballito Photo Club and North Coast Artists have joined camera lenses and paintbrushes to put together the stunning Through the Eyes of the Artist exhibition for a good cause.
This unique exhibition will be running from July 19 to 21 at the John Platter Wine Room and Dragonfly Room at Simbithi Country Club, ending off with a live charity auction on the Friday evening.
The auction will be facilitated by auctioneer Alistair Sharp with the proceeds going to The North Coast Courier Orphan Fund.
Ten per cent of every sale (photograph or artwork) will also go towards the Orphan Fund.
Graphic designer, photographer and general art lover, who is also the chairperson of the Ballito Photo Club, Bebhinn Spoors said there will be more than 126 images on display and for sale during the exhibition.

“The work of almost 100 artists will be displayed, spreading over a huge variety of landscapes, wildlife, still life, portrait and seascapes. The original photographic image will be displayed alongside the painted interpretation and the pieces are all framed and mounted in different styles by PrintWild.”
Look out for wildlife photographs by Tim Driman and seascapes by Jason Naidoo, while Jane Digby and Lori Schappe-Youens will be some of the artists to admire.
The venue will be open for viewing and sales from 1pm – 7pm on Wednesday and 8am – 7pm on Thursday and Friday, with the auction starting on Friday evening at 7pm.
A photographer and artist will also always be on hand, so feel free to chat to them about the art on display.
Whether you are looking for some art for your home or office, you are sure to find any size and price tag at the exhibition, with a couple of special artworks coming out for the auction only.
