Co-owner, art teacher, and artist Adele Jansen van Rensburg said, on the day, they welcomed guests and artists to see a display of mixed art pieces, ranging from sketches to oil paints, which depicted still life’s, landscapes, and everything in between.
Weeks, and sometimes months, were put into creating and perfecting these art pieces, some of which were up for sale, while others opted not to sell, as they were still sentimental about their art.
“Letting go is also part of the process, and over time artists learn the self confidence to do that,” said Jansen van Rensburg. The artist has created a lot of art through the years, which she has learned not to hold on to. She thinks letting it go will allow for her art to make someone else happy in their home.
Jansen van Renseburg said it takes bravery for artists to showcase their art. “In the beginning, it is scary. Then you get to the exhibit and see all the beauty your hard work has produced, and you become happy.”
Two exhibitions take place each year, one for the children, towards the end of the year, and the adults exhibition in winter.
