About Mark

Mark van der Merwe lived in Hillbrow JHB in the late 80's & worked as a Missionary, doing his crafts to pay his way. This experience inspired him in many ways; emotions play a big part in his work. He now lives along the whale coast - Southern Cape & has been an Artist for 30plus years.

While in the Air Force studying Mechanical engineering, he learnt a lot about metals & working with them, using the gas & oxygen torch. He started his artistic carrier, living like a gypsy in his van, selling his work around Southern Africa. He got involved with sculpting, which is now his greatest passion. He uses Brass a lot. "I love it, its warm & reasonably easy to work with". He's also travelled abroad marketing his work in Europe & England.
