To do or not to do
As an artist, like most other artists, I’m very scatterbrained and struggle with routine. Although a lot of people assume that artists only create, we need to establish a business. Part of our day to day`s activities is admin, marketing and keeping our websites up to date. This post is dedicated to all the mom’s out […]
Grateful
Can we still say it’s a new year? January is running out and the holidays are already just a vague memory. I moved into a new studio, and have light and space and chirping birds around me after a long while of occupying uncomfortable workspaces. I decided that this year will be the year of being […]
My daughters featuring in my art
Music – blogging, and my daughters: I sit with a glass of Kleine Zalze Merlot – listening to beautiful music, unwinding after a rather productive day behind my easel. (Or is it “in front of” – I never know!) I have three beautiful daughters and they feature in my paintings often. They are such […]
The best pencils ever made
As I am busy with a pencil painting, very much like this little one here, I decided to do a blog post about all (or some of) the pencil artworks I did. My first pencil artwork: This is where the first pencil started, almost 4 years ago, a miniature little painting for an art […]
Playing around with objects
Today I want to share a few images of my playful art. I just love it to transform found objects, old furniture, in fact, anything I can lay my hands on, into Decor items and functional art I had such a great photo shoot in Rosendal in the Freestate where my artist parents, Kobus and Joe Kotze live. I took […]
Secrets Revealed: Images Of Hands In My Art
Hands: I cannot do this blog post about hands, without combining it with motivational quotes as each of my hand’s paintings are very specific in conveying a message. Quotes can express in words, what you feel in your heart. I try to capture a feeling in my hand’s paintings of compassion, understanding, giving, support, and […]
When time ran out
Today I want to share three paintings of a range of paintings I am working on for an art exhibition. The theme of the exhibition: “From broken open to breakthrough”. I got a few rugged canvases from a friend in Mossel Bay more than a year ago, I picture an old lady, asking her husband […]
“Our perfect companions never have fewer than four feet.”
“Animal Friends Captured on Canvas” Not many words are necessary to accompany these images, any animal lover will know the bond between people and their pets and horses and might understand why they want to commission paintings of these four legged friends of them. “My dog and I” “Every once in a while a dog enters […]

Kyknet Ontbytsake Insert 2014
Earlier this year, Ontbytsake, a Kyknet Television journal program promoting local artists venues and tourism in South Africa, made this wonderful little insert of the gallery I had in Mossel Bay. I recently moved out of this studio, now working from home, and supplying to other accredited Art Galleries as well as to my shop in […]
This is me, where I come from, how I think.
I was born on a farm cradled by mountains in the Aliwal North district of the Eastern Cape. My father Kobus Kotze is a well-known landscape artist. The hours I spent painting with him in his art studio opened my mind to art. My mother Joe Kotze only started painting later in her life. She […]
